William Cody Bateman - Christian Author and Professional Speaker
Christian Ministry and Evangelism
William Cody Bateman first preached of Jesus Christ and His resurrection at a Missionary Conference in 1979. From that time on, he has remained willing to travel wherever and whenever the Lord calls. To this end, he has continues the joy of proclaiming Jesus Christ to fellowships, men’s conferences and home studies across denominational lines for nearly 30 years.
As an itinerate evangelist and long distance hiker, Mr. Bateman has traveled more than 2,000 miles on foot along the famous Appalachian Trail sharing the hope and salvation found only in a real and repentant relationship with God the Son, Jesus Christ. As a storyteller, he takes his many real-life adventures confronting dangerous mountain summits, raging rivers, physical injuries and trail confrontations with wildlife and unbeliever unlike - and folds folds them into practical bible application.
Husband and Fatherhood
A father to a blended family of 16, he has experienced the joys and tragedies found in raising a family in the midst of a world wrought with spiritual compromise, seductions and false values. He and his whole family are itinerate missionaries. There love of God and His Word has compelled them to share in the ministry of reconciliation literally around the world - Ireland, Costa Rica, Florida, Appalachian Trail, Montana, Uganda, Georgia, Michigan, Indiana and more…
Formerly a single-parent father of four sons; William has shared openly his own struggles fathering a hurting family and yet, keeping his eyes on God’s help in time of need. As a father to a very large blended family, He and his wife aided various fellowships in establishing “DivorceCare” ministries in several locations.
Corporate vs. Family Issues
A former mid-level executive with the premier golf resort destination in the world at the renowned Sea Island Resort was the capstone of corporate accomplishment for Mr. Bateman. And, as a “corporate man” living and working in such a worldly, seductive environment has given him a “birds eye” perspective on living a holy life in Christ while balancing the obligations of family and the corporate world. With more than 30 years experience in the corporate world at various levels of management and as a contractor during the Atlanta Olympics; William understands what most young fathers are being confronted with - in relationship to providing for family and wife spiritual, physical, emotional and financial needs according the the Bible’s Book of Proverbs.

Dear Cousins,
Please accept the god we trust in and you too will share in these advantages of our culture:
1.Eliminating God from government and replacing Him with any god you may choose will conform to our “In any gods we trust” motto.
2. M.D.’s (murdering doctors) will kill your unwanted babies as they struggle to wiggle their way into the arms of parents that don’t want them.
3. The aged, disabled and unproductive will be given the option of a dignified death by the same M.D.’s that have said an oath of preserving life.
4. Homosexuals and perverts (sexual predators) will be able to marry and adopt children that will propagate the their abnormal lifestyles. Whatever happened to common sense?
5. Weekend marriages (married on Fri and divorced on Mon) will become the new rage.
6. Legalizing prostitution will eliminate the curse of immorality and adultery.
7. The underprivileged minorities will gamble their last dinar and the ruling class will pay fewer taxes because of their squandering of money and addiction to chance.
8. We will install our “dumbing-down” Department of Education so that the elite will continue to have control and authority over lower class repressed students.
9. Pornography will be very available in every form on the pretence that this will prevent “acting out” acts of sexual offences.
10. Our capitalistic corporate leaders will teach you how to rip off millions from fellow citizens and only have small and insignificant penalties to pay without complete restitution.
11. We will export our profitable prison industry as we have become the number one nation in the world expanding industry profits from incarcerating the most number of prisoners.
12. And we will show you how you too can merchandise “Kentucky Fried Christianity” as we have so that you too will never have to be accountable to God for the 10 Commandments our country was founded on.
Judge Roy Moore told me that the question our country needs to resolve is,
“Can the State acknowledge God?”
Upon that answer, our future as a nation “under God” rests.
We the ungodly people of Amerika do strongly encourage you to accept our superior culture or we will blow your country to dust, except the oil fields of course!
Signed:
The Godless people of Amerika

PS My natural father was blown to bits in WWII defending the Judeo-Christian values of America that have been trampled on. Now, all I have left is a purple heart and the flag that draped his casket. And all America has is a country without God. This article is written in memory of my Dad.
