Obed Staff
Jeanne Corwin
Founder
Jeanne Corwin is the founder of The Obed Project. An entrepreneurial businesswoman, Jeanne first visited Israel in 1983 and has subsequently made more than 60 trips to the Land and guided more than 50 groups. She has a passionate love for the Land of Israel and the Jewish people. She believes that service is a form of worship, especially as it relates to restoring the Jewish people to their God, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Jeanne divides her time running a successful marketing and advertising company in Charlotte, North Carolina and organizing service tours to Israel through The Obed Project. She travels to Israel at least four to six times a year, taking pastors, teachers, students, worship, prophetic, and intercessory prayer teams to the Land. She fervently believes that by building strong, long-lasting relationships between Jews and Believers in Messiah we are fulfilling Scripture. It is her heartfelt desire to see the Body of Messiah operating in faith as One New Man.

John Brown
US Director
After twenty three years at a local church, John joined The Obed Project in January 2009 as our US Director. He comes to us with a wealth of experience in administration and has strong teaching and prophetic gifts; but most of all he has a heart and passion for the land of Israel. In 2001 he made his first trip to Israel which forever changed his life (to the good we might add). Today, his desire is to connect as many believers as possible with the Land he fell in love with eight years ago.
