With societies in England, Scotland and Germany, missionaries went all over Europe and had some success, as Aaron Bernstein noted in a number of examples.
The London Society for promoting Christianity amongst the Jews (currently known as "Church's Ministry Among Jewish People") was formed in 1809 with the motto “Jesus Christ is the Messiah.”[3] The list of supporters for the early Messianic Jewish movement included the Duke of Devonshire, seven English Earls, five viscounts and several members of the British Parliament, alongside social engineers such as William Wilberforce and Charles Simeon.
[4] a group of 41 "Hebrew Christians" established an association called "Beni Abraham", and started meeting at Jews' Chapel in London for prayers Friday night and Sunday morning.
[6] In the 1890s, immigrant Jews who converted to Christianity established the "Hope of Israel" mission on New York's Lower East Side while retaining Jewish rites and customs.
[9] In the 1940s and 50s, missionaries in Israel adopted the term meshichyim ("Messianic") to counter negative connotations of the traditional word notzrim.
