Howard A. Snyder:

Kingdom witness and church growth are not matters of bringing to the church what it needs for success in the way of methods, techniques or strategies. Kingdom faithfulness is a matter of removing the barriers to life and growth. Once these barriers (not only personal sin but also human traditions, worn-out structures and fundamental misconceptions about the nature of the church) are removed, the church will grow through the dynamic of God within it.
