This is the outdoor amphitheater that seats 20,000. All seats are filled on any given service.







Many bible stories and figures are carved into the cliffs.



Crosses were everywhere, subtil at first, until you began to look for them. Negotiating the big tourist bus we were traveling in was truly remarkable. Some places only afforded inches, several point turns to get through. We headed to the top of the city where 2 amphitheaters have been carved out of the cliffs.
Today we went to Simon's Church in Garbage City. Garbage City had sprung up over people sifting through and sorting usable/recyclable material in the local dump. The people there were generally all maner of unsavory character until 1972 when a Christion man (I forget what he did as a living, I'm working on slim memory here) began to minister to the people there. He began a wholesale change where today, most of the residents are Christian.
