The Journey Church of Atlanta
• Praise God for the safe delivery of Pastor Matt and Julia's baby daughter, Ella Jadyn Ro. She is officially the first baby at JCA. Please pray that JCA would steadily develop a children's ministry not just for Ella but for all children that will come in the future for JCA.

• JCA is currently in the planning stages of starting a young adult church plant in a separate part of the city. The plan is to launch this new site sometime in the fall. We are hoping to plant a church site in a part of the city where we can have a strong impact on the people and community surrounding us.

• For the college ministry, this year marked a new era as we have added two more college campuses as locations for our family groups. We started family groups for the first time at Georgia State University and Oxford College of Emory. Both groups experienced strong growth not just in numbers but in faith as well. Several non-Christians attend both groups and have made strong steps towards accepting Christ into their lives.

After a few months of negotiations and inspections, HMCC-AA recently signed a contract to purchase a building right on the University of Michigan campus. The church prays that this building be used to help reach the campus and community more effectively and also become a training center for missions work and church planting.

HMCC of Austin: The HMCC of Austin church plant team left Ann Arbor on May 18th and made the long trek down to Austin. After three days of driving, with stops in Nashville and Dallas, the team made the journey safely and in good spirits.The team will utilize the rest of the summer to prepare for the church to be launched in August, when the University of Texas will begin their new school year.
