I know of several good Apostolic Churches that are growing and having revival. One is Bro Johnny Godair's church in Durham NC that runs well over 1000 and has seen MANY receive the Holy Ghost in the last year.
I will say this...growth does not necessarily mean they are actually in revival, however. There are times when God must actually move people out of a certain body in order to have real revival and that can appear discouraging at the time. Afterward souls will be able to be won.
Have you considered daughter works? Perhaps the congregation itself has not gown much in number through the years but has been a place where souls are being won and sent out to begin new works. Just a thought...
