Our society teaches polar opposite principles to biblical truth.  Questions are asked such as: “How big is your house?’ or “How big is your bank account?”  The questions always begins, “How BIG?”  The church is at times guilty of misapplying principles to intangible goods of this world.  These individuals will ask, “How big is your Sunday School, choir or Sunday attendance?”  When the reply is less than impressive, the world would ask why we waste our time on something so small.  The answer is simply being faithful to what God has given us.  Jesus never ask how big the congregation was or how big the offering is at the ministry before ministering to the people on earth.  When our days are accomplished on earth and we stand before the Lord, He will not ask how BIG, but how faithful?  I do not minimize numbers because numbers represent souls to be ministered to, but the question is not how big the ministry as it is how faithful to your ministry for God you are.  According to Luke 19:17, there is a reward for faithfulness.  Stay faithful in your ministry for the Lord, for He sees your faithfulness!
