One of the congregations described in George Hunter's book Radical Outreach is First Baptist Church of Leesburg, FL. This is a traditional Southern Baptist congregation that has been led by senior pastor Charles Roesel since 1976. (Long pastorates and turnaround are positively correlated!) Attendance was 300 in the mid-70s; today attendance is in the thousands, and 1400 people participate in over 70 different outreach ministries.

The church's motto is, "Building bridges through ministries and relationships that lead people to real life in Jesus." Check out their church website at www.fbcleesburg.org and follow the links to "Ministry Village." The testimonies on that page illustrate how this church is ministering to the needs of secular people and introducing them to Jesus Christ!
