Resume of Rev. Bill Bathman

Rev. Bill Bathman, Founder and President of In Touch Mission International ministered the Gospel to persecuted Christians behind the Iron Curtain for nearly 40 years. For 22 years, Bill and Harriett lived in Europe and worked throughout Eastern Europe. Then for many years, from their headquarters in Arizona, USA, they continued to assist suffering churches and awaken Western Christians to the needs of oppressed believers. They transferred their base of operations to Cape Town, South Africa in 2001.

Bill distributed New Testaments to Soviet soldiers during the invasion of Czechoslovakia in August 1968 and was preaching in Romania at the time of the Revolution in 1989. He is a sought-after speaker in Poland, Bulgaria, Romania, and throughout Africa. Many Christians attribute the Revival in Romania to God's gracious working through Bill Bathman.

Bill has produced and hosted several thousand radio programs in his daily IN TOUCH series and has been interviewed on Trans World Radio, HCJB, Radio Free Europe, BBC, SABC, ZNBC and many other broadcast and TV stations.
