Welcome to qaya.org!

Qaya is the Azerbaijani word for "rock", and is pronounced like guy-ah in English. When I was living in Azerbaijan some of my friends called me Qaya as a translation of Peter, which also means "rock". But the rock on which I rely is not myself but Jesus Christ (Matthew 7:24, 1 Corinthians 10:4).
