In 1967 Angus Wootten retired from the United States Army. In the course of that eventful year he met Sid Roth. Sid was a Jew who was not practicing Judaism, Angus was not practicing Catholicism. These two ultimately ended up being in business together. From the secular side it was an investment business, from the non-secular, it became a business that was mightily used to help fund the foundational efforts of Messianic Judaism.

In the early Seventies, Angus, and his wife Batya, were involved with Sid and a small group of Messianic Jews in the founding of Beth Messiah, in the Washington D.C., area - it being one of the first Messianic Jewish Congregations. They also worked with Sid in his founding of the Messianic Vision, a ministry to all who were interested in the phenomenon of Jews accepting Jesus as their Messiah, yet retaining their Jewish traditions.

In 1977, to further the purposes of the Messianic Vision, Batya established the House of David as a bookstore/catalogue company. The "business" was primarily funded by her husband, Angus. The store needed someone to fund it because it specialized in materials and books about Israel, the Jewish people, Christians, and how they all relate. At the time, interest in the subject matter was marginal at best. Some even reacted to it with hostility.

Because Batya felt a responsibility to know what the materials they were offering said, she read countless books about the subject of Israel. Much to her dismay, she discovered a wide variance of opinion about Israel's true role in the world, its future, and most important, about Israel's identity. She felt, to say the least, stymied.

Batya and Angus had endless discussions about "Israel." Then, being in spiritual anguish over the matter, Batya began to cry out in earnest to her Heavenly Father, asking Him for His answer to her ever-present question, "Who Is Israel?"
