SURFER BOB: "Yo amigitos! Where are you hombres? Amigitos! HEY…CHRISTOPHER…PENNY!"

ACCOUNTANT BILL: "Ummm…Bob…maybe…well…perhaps they are…ummm…not…ummm…here."

SURFER BOB: "Nonsense, Billy Boy! They were just here. Sittin' around, jawin' like they normally do! Where could they be?"

ACCOUNTANT BILL: "Ummm…maybe they went for a coffee break…ummm…or an early…well…an early…um…lunch…or…something."

SURFER BOB: "Naw…naw…now, it's only 9:45, they were just here and they never take coffee breaks! OH NO BILLY BOY!!!! WHAT IF THE RAPTURE HAS JUST HAPPENED AND WE GOT LEFT BEHIND!!!!"

ACCOUNTANT BILL: "Umm…well…the odds…are…well…against that. I am pretty…well…sure of my faith and…I know that…Jesus loves…well…me. I think that you are…well…being um…a little premature…in your…well…in your…umm…conclusions."(Penny and Mr. C enter the shop)

PENNY: "Whew! I am impressed, Mr. Christopher. You really saved the day!"

MR. CHRISTOPHER: "Well now, Penny, you were the one who kept him stable and yelled for help."

SURFER BOB: "Stable…what stable? What in tarnation are ya'll talking about and where have you two been?!?!?!?"

PENNY: "Well, Surfer Bob, moments ago a man was passing by the shop. He collapsed right by our window. Mr. C was quick thinking, he ran out and started CPR on the man. The ambulance came and rushed him to the hospital. But they said that Mr. Christopher saved his life. He was a real hero!"

ACCOUNTANT BILL: "Way to…umm…way to…go…Mister…well…Mister Christopher!"

SURFER BOB: "Yeah, Mr. Christopher! You're the dude!"

MR. CHRISTOPHER: "Well, first of all, we need to all thank the Lord for His wisdom in this traumatic situation. And then, we need to thank Penny…she really helped out. It was a real team effort!"

ACCOUNTANT BILL: "Yes…and what a…well…a perfect lesson for the research…well…the um…topic…for…well…discussion topic for today."

SURFER BOB: "You're right, Billy Boy! Today's lil' RE-view of the 2000 Olympics in Sydney, Australia, sure is about heroes and teamwork, ain't it!"

MR. CHRISTOPHER: "Ah yes, our current topic…you're right Accountant Bill...it does fit with today's research."

PENNY: "Yeah, you see gang we were talking earlier about the Summer Olympics that were held in Sydney back in September of 2000. That was an exciting time! The world came together again to compete and share in the Olympic spirit!"

MR. CHRISTOPHER: "But, beyond that, it was an exciting time when missionaries, volunteers, and Australian Baptists all joined together to share the hope of Jesus WITH many of the world athletes and spectators who were in attendance. Some of these athletes and spectators came expecting to experience the Olympic spirit and left experiencing something much more meaningful…the HOLY SPIRIT!"

PENNY: "Yeah! There were heroes on the sports field, but the real heroes were on the streets of Sydney…passing out tracts and Bibles and telling the lost, from all over, about Jesus."

MR. CHRISTOPHER: "And from what I've heard it was a true TEAM EFFORT."

SURFER BOB: "Hey amigitos! Before you hombres get too much further, I have a lil' ditty here about Australia. Take you a look-see!"

PENNY: "Wow! What a beautiful place and Sydney seems like a spectacular city!"

MR. CHRISTOPHER: "It sure does! The fantastic thing was that Sydney's beauty really attracted people from all over. Some of these visitors were from countries where hearing the good news of Jesus Christ is nearly impossible. They were able to come and participate in the Summer Olympics and walk around, exploring Sydney during their stay."

PENNY: "Exploring the streets of Sydney allowed our team…God's team…of committed Christians to share Jesus with those visitors."

MR. CHRISTOPHER: "The team stayed in the small town of Windsor and commuted into Sydney each day to mix, mingle and share Jesus with the lost. They stayed next to the Windsor District Baptist Church in a place called 'Tent City'."

SURFER BOB: "Hey! I found a cool lil' ditty about the tents, team, and teachin' the testaments! You hombres want to sneak a peak!?!?"

PENNY: "We sure do! Go for it Bob!"

PENNY: "Cool story!"

MR. CHRISTOPHER: "Yes, it is amazing what God's people can do with vision and a commitment to Christ's commandment to 'Go into All Nations'."

PENNY: "One thing I noticed was that there were a lot of young people sharing and witnessing."

MR. CHRISTOPHER: "Fantastic isn't it?!?!?! Younger generations like you Penny, and YOU GANG, are crucial in reaching all the peoples of this world with the gospel. How are you participating in the work of our Lord around the world? Write to us and tell us about it. Write to: Kids On Mission, International Mission Board, P.O. Box 6767, Richmond, Va., 23230-0767.

ACCOUNTANT BILL: "Umm…Bob…well…I think…you need these…umm…these pole…ummm…things."

SURFER BOB: "Now Billy-boy…let me handle it! I know what I am doin' here! Now if we just had some rope or string."

ACCOUNTANT BILL: "I don't think that you need…umm…well…need…um…rope. I think that…well…that…these poles will…well…do the trick."

SURFER BOB: "Now Accountant Bill, if people didn't call me Surfer Bob they might call me CAMPER Bob. See campin' is a bit of my forebay."

ACCOUNTANT BILL: "Umm…well…I think the word…well…the word you are looking for…is…well…'forte' and as I recall the only…well…time that you went…um…camping…you got lost…and had to…well…be rescued by a young boy from…"

SURFER BOB: "Heh…heh…now Billy-boy, you are a hoot! We don't need ta bore anyone with a silly lil' ole trip down memory lane!"

PENNY: "Bob, what are ya'll doing?"

SURFER BOB: "Oh well, Accountant Bill and I got inspired and decided to make our own little tent city in order to share Jesus with friends in the neighborhood."

PENNY: "Well, where are you pitching your tent."

SURFER BOB: "In the back yard of course!"

PENNY: "Bob, I think that you have missed the point of the tents. You see you don't need to sleep in a tent to…oh well, never mind. See you next time gang!"

SURFER BOB: "Now why were you hidin' those poles from me, Billy-boy? I think we'll need those, amigito!"

ACCOUNTANT BILL: "That's ummm…what…well…I've been trying…to…umm…tell you!"
