Could the organic/simple church growth be due to the fact that men are not too keen on the feminimity associated with many institutional church settings?
Men are hardly allowed to be men in most "churches." There is a sense of adventure and risk in organic/simple church. Not so much in general "church" attendance. Men don't get too excited at the prospect of going to a service once a week to sing "lovesongs to Jesus." (don't get me wrong I love Jesus)

I read somewhere that God uses the weak and foolish things to confound the wise. I also remember reading that God does not judge by outward appearances but looks at the heart. I also read that out of the heart springs the issues of life.
I'm reminded of many Bible people who were not exactly superstars in the world's eyes. Just to name a few: John the Baptist, Gideon, Noah, Abraham, Peter. Jesus accumulated quite a following but ended up basically dying alone on a cross. Our he
