PENNY: "…OK, is it in Africa?"

SURFER BOB: "Nuuuuupe. Sorry Penorita. Try again."

PENNY: "Hummmm… I might need another hint, hold on a minute."

MR. CHRISTOPHER: "What are you two doing?"

PENNY: (sarcastically) "Oh Bob likes to challenge me with his vast knowledge of geography."

MR. CHRISTOPHER: (figuring he knows more than Bob in this area) "Oh really??? Mind if I play along?"

PENNY: "You'll have to ask permission from the "Master of Ceremonies."

SURFER BOB: (condescendingly) "I suppose I could allow Mr. Christopher to join in. But Penny, you can't bring him up to speed. He has to start from right where we're at."

MR. CHRISTOPHER: "Fair enough."

PENNY: "Now, how about that hint."

SURFER BOB: "Oh I was hopin' you'd ask me that. From this country we get lots of yummy bananas, scrumptious shrimp, and tasty coffee… which they like to call, café."

PENNY: "It's in South America isn't it?"

SURFER BOB: "You betcha!"

MR CHRISTOPHER: "Then I would guess Costa Rica, but that's located in Central America… It could be Colombia, but if there are…"

SURFER BOB: "No Christopher! You're wrong on both guesses. Besides, you're only supposed to guess one country at a time!"

PENNY: (looking at her watch or looking like she's tired of the game) "I think we better end this game. Go ahead and tell us Bob-o."

SURFER BOB: (sigh) "Well it's a shame that you two give up sooooo easily. I mean, after all my research and devotion to trying to stump you in this game, I was hoping for a little more. I suppose that I will honor your request, since it appears that I indeed have stumped both of you… (sigh) It's that little ol' country we like to call "Equator."

PENNY: "Oh, you mean Ecuador. Right Bob?"

SURFER BOB: "Well isn't that what I said?!"

MR. CHRISTOPHER: "Actually Penny, Bob is right… whether he knows it or not. The country of Ecuador gets its name from the equator that runs through it. The name "Ecuador" means "equator" in Spanish."

SURFER BOB: "Uh… yeah, I knew that. That's what I was drivin' at… yeah!"

PENNY: "You know, this is such a coincidence! I just got an e-mail this morning from one of our missionaries in Guayaquil, Ecuador, telling me about what God is doing there. He attached a video; do you want to see it?"

MR. CHRISTOPHER: "Certainly!"

PENNY: "Isn't it awesome how God is blessing the people of Ecuador? Think about it. Jesus is touching the hearts of millions in that country through the TeleAmigo ministry! And you know what? It is growing too. TeleAmigo originally started in the country of Colombia and is already in two cities there. And now they're also ministering in Chile and Venezuela."

MR CHRISTOPHER: "God is awesome Penny. I was thinking about how the ministry in Ecuador shows us just how God sees us."

PENNY: "What do you mean Mr. C?"

MR. CHRISTOPHER: "You remember what I was saying about how the equator runs through the country of Ecuador? Well… the equator is the imaginary line that divides the earth into two equal parts. Sadly, many times we try to put a dividing line between people who are Christians and those who are not; thinking He loves one group of people more than the other.""But the truth is, we are all equal in God's eyes. No matter where we live, who we are or what we are. We are His children and He wants us to serve Him by believing in The One whom He sent to unite and save us… Jesus Christ."

PENNY: "That's how the missionaries of TeleAmigo view the lost people of Ecuador. They don't see them as someone who is any less of a person… they see them as God's people. People that need Jesus in their lives too, so that they can serve as equal parts in the body of Christ."

MR CHRISTOPHER: "You took the words right out of my mouth Penny. You know… I'm curious about what our KOM friends think about what God is doing throughout our world. Have you gotten any new letters in recently?"

PENNY: (starts to talk but is interrupted by Surfer Bob)

SURFER BOB: "Hey Penny! Why don't you let me wrangle up one of them there letters for ya… hummm? Unless you'd rather play another one of my geographic trivia games."

PENNY: "Go ahead with the letter Bob-o. I don't know that our brains are ready for another game of "Geo-Surfer Trivia."

SURFER BOB: "OK then. Here's a letter for ya…"

MR. CHRISTOPHER: "If you'd like to send us a letter we'd love to hear from you. Write to: Kids On Mission, P.O. box 6767 Richmond, Va., 23230."

SURFER BOB: "Oh come on Penorita! Hows about another game? Mr. C? How 'bout you? Surely your brain is well rested…"

MR CHRISTOPHER: "Bob, I've got work to do. Why don't you play with Accountant Bill or something."

SURFER BOB: (chuckling) "Accountant Bill!!!??? Yeah right. Billy boy don't know geography! The only thing he knows is them numbers and such. So what do ya say my young Penorita? Shall we play 'nother game?"

PENNY: "Uh, I think I have some homework to do. We'll talk about it tomorrow. See you next time gang. Bye Mr. C."

MR. CHRISTOPHER: "Bye Penny."

SURFER BOB: "Well gosh, I guess I really got you guys with my geo-trivia game! Yep! Ya know, with my dizzying intellect I ought to go on a TV show or somethin.' I think I could do pretty good. Or maybe I could try selling my ideas, yeah! Then when I get real famous I can spread my wealth of knowledge throughout the world through the Internet. I suppose there really is no limit to what I am capable of doin'."
