Numbers don't seem that important to them. They would never think of that being two different things. Vision and mission statements do not seem to be important there. Church is not primarily future. The people are not concerned about building a stronger and more vital institution for the future.
Some churches have no buildings.
One church has walls, but no roof. The people want to complete the church building, but it has taken a decade just to get the walls in place. The people are devastatingly poor. But to have the one meal today, they must make enough profit to buy what they will sell tomorrow. No one here worries about disobeying the biblical injunction not to store up goods for the future.
