The real measurable should not be who was added to the church, but how many received the Lord and were baptized. Even with those that heard the gospel, but did not admit, believe, and confess; a seed was planted.

The people that judged it was unsuccessful were not people that I would trust their judgement. Also, those that set the goal to increase the church membership were not those that I felt should be setting the goals.
I think if they had done a better job in those two capacities you would see that we were very successful at evangelizing and also at building the church.
