I'll go easy... you can't remember 1000 names! lol. No, seriously, I can't imagine the Apostles having mega-churches. I see churches taking place in homes, I see intimate groups of Christians getting together to worship and break bread. When a church gets past a few hundred a lot of that is lost, and soon one has to schedule meetings through a secretary to get an appointment with anyone in the ministry.
When a church gets too big, the right things to do, from my understanding, seems to be to start daughter works and reach out to other communities, so that others can be reached, and a simple church pattern be preserved.
GOD BLESS!
