Tim Vink, National Coordinator for Church Multiplication indicated that church attendance has declined in America at the same time that the population has increased by more than 50 Million people since 1990.

Vink said, "In other parts of the world Church Multiplication movements are growing at 7x the population growth rate. The only hope for the American church to keep up with the increase in population is to begin Multiplying churches."
