I was part of the church that withered away to about 80 people or so and lost its preacher. A family moved to the city so the husband could study theology (he was an CPA and she taught, they saved up money so he could do this.
He started attending with us and also went around setting up like 5 one on one Bible studies in his spare time. He used just the bible and taught from 5 different areas dependent on the person he was teaching. He asked 5 different members to go with him to one for each study, but asked them to commit 7 hours per week to pray, study and meditation on the study and person they would be teaching. He also gave them a list of question on the verses they would be going over so they could chime in with comments. My wife went with him on one study and it took her 24 hours one time to try and answer all the questions, I never went with him because I thought it was to big of a commitment. After the first year he did have two converts, but they did not just submit to being baptized and joining the church, but were on fire to teach other what they had learned and had already asked friends and family to study with them, which required more teachers and the new member going to school did not have the time, so some of those church members that had studied with him went with the brand new members.
This just kept growing and growing and eventually the theology student was asked to preach. He used the same style as his one on one teaching: answer questions with questions, never giving his own conclusions but just presenting alternatives for the members to work out. Lots of questions and the membership would meet afterwards among themselves to try and develop answers. It was like taking a graduate course in Bible.
The church grow organically through one on one Bible studies, so it reached in 5 years to be 700 and tons of Bible studies going on at the colleges, High Schools, prison and all over the city. It kept dividing until 17 churches were started in the area.
You might just get it started yourself and bring others in to follow you (Christ living in and through you).
