Preach it Peter

Antakya (Antioch) or Haytay is by far the most Arab-feeling city we've visited. Claimed both by Syria and Turkey, but belonging to Turkey, it has a mix of Syrian culture and language. Harbiye was one very Arab village we visited on the mountain side. Our friend, Keith, graciously showed us around the city and took us to the oldest known church...inside a cave. Paul and Baranabas worked in Antioch for a year and were sent out from there (see Acts 11). Peter also spent some time preaching there, which is where the church earned its name (I think): St. Pierre. Turkish word of the day: abla, abi - sister, brother
