Our Calling
Return to Judah was born from a lifelong journey of learning to know the Lord more deeply and responding to His invitation to return.
Over many years, God has led us through seasons of worship, prayer, restoration, and numerous journeys to Israel. Along the way, He has steadily revealed His heart for His covenant purposes and His enduring faithfulness to His people.
Today, Return to Judah exists to invite others into that same journey—returning to the Lord, to worship, and to His covenant purposes.
Meet Constance & Woody
Constance and Woody Woods have served together in worship and ministry for 50 years. In 1997, God began stirring Constance heart to sing prayers for Israel and the Jewish people. That was the seed that has blossomed through the years.
The Calling
Return to Judah did not begin as an organization or a program. It grew out of a lifelong journey of worship, prayer, and learning to follow the Lord’s leading.
In the late 1990s, the Lord began placing an increasing burden on our hearts for Israel. Through years of worship, prayer, and repeated journeys to the Land, He steadily deepened our understanding of His covenant purposes and His enduring faithfulness to His people.
A defining moment came in 2004 while praying for Israel. The Lord gave Constance a vision. She was seeing the Negev Desert from above, and there were angels who were working the land with tools who were posted throughout the land. God revealed His preparation of the land and He gave Constance an invitation to gather worshippers who would return to Israel to worship, pray, and stand in agreement with His covenant purposes. Along with this calling, He impressed upon her heart the promise of Obadiah 1:20:
“…the exiles who are in Sepharad shall possess the cities of the Negev.”
Over the years, the Lord has continued to unfold this assignment one step at a time. What began as a personal calling has grown into Return to Judah—a ministry devoted to inviting others to return to the Lord, to worship, and to His covenant purposes.
Today, that calling is expressed through worship, prayer, biblical teaching, prophetic ministry, creative expression, relationships in Israel, and The Watchmen’s Pilgrimage—an invitation to walk the Land together in worship, prayer, and covenant hope.
