Adopt a Messianic Family?

At this point in time, it seems that countless Christian organizations sponsor Messianic congregations, ministries and organizations. This can only be expected, as the Messianic movement does not originate out of Judaism but out of Christianity, having been created by the Church of England in the 1800's. Since its inception, the Messianic movement has spread and been particularly fostered by U.S.-based evangelical Christian organizations.

I recently ran into one of the stranger sponsorships I have seen in a while. Daystar Ministry International, Inc. has started an Adopt a Messianic Family program, in which they solicit money for Israeli Messianic families. Daystar was created by Nancy Morgan, a Christian minister who was ordained by the Jacksonville Theological Seminary. Pastor Morgan endeavors to spread Christianity and has evangelized in several countries. So why would she be so interested in adopting Messianic families? Only because Messianic "Judaism" is a branch of Christianity and she is interested in spreading Christianity in Israel.
