So what happened in the desert there? The Israelites were taught how to be holy and what was expected of them. God specifically wanted Moses to count the tribes and it stands to reason (with me) that all Pastors should have a "record" of their numbers and a goal as to how many they can possibly reach to teach "in the desert" about holiness and what is expected. I've never found it odd that leaders desire an increase in people... is not your calling to bring more people to the Kingdom?
