North America seems to see little numerical growth and it has been this way for years. Most of their numbers come from overseas. Numbers in NA have been skewed for years once they started counting preaching points/daughter works where sometimes most that attend are from the home church.
As to numbers at youth events, many of those attending will later leave. They are not indicative of an organizations growth but only attendance at these special events.
Bernard has done much to help financially, in my opinion, and has pressed for apostolic identitity since before becoming GS.

Agree with some of this.
I would say that numbers at youth events have increased fairly rapidly, since the WPF pastors left.
Which is ironic, because the WPF youth events have also increased fairly rapidly since the early days.
I would say that an increase of attendance at youth events are indicative of an increase, provided the percentage "leaving" remains constant.
