Alma 4
Having 3000 people join the church in one year would be equivalent to our modern number of baptisms in a population of 70 million people or a church of 140,000. I would guess that their church was less than 140,000 and their total population much less than 70 million so this was much more success than we have seen in my lifetime.
I personally suspect that the Nephites had a population of maybe a quarter million at this time.
