Likewise while we see many people turning from traditional dry churches to Spirit filled independent ones the statistics show that so far this "revivial" is not even keeping pace with our population growth.

You are right. If you look at the word 'revival' it is speaking about reviving something that was dead or near dead. But revival doesn't really mean bringing in new souls it means bring back souls. We often call it revival when a ton of new people come in but it is not revival.
