(music from Japanese festival
playing in the background)
PENNY:
(Penny is laughing) Surfer Bob, I’m assuming
that you and Accountant Bill have been doing some
traveling recently?
SURFER
BOB: Yeah Penny. We surfed on over to see
some of my good buddies in Japan! And you know
what? Some of them are surfin’ dudes too!
I’ll tell ya more about ‘em later.
ACCOUNTANT
BILL: Uh… yes. And I… uh…
I… I was just teaching my beloved brother,
Bob, how to do a particular style of dance I learned
at a, um… at the Awa Odori festival in Japan.
(Bill looks as Bob falls then back to Penny and
mumbles something about ‘see what I have
to work with’)
MR.
CHRISTOPHER: (chuckle) Somehow I always
end up thinking that Bob should stick to surfing!
While we check on Bob, here’s a factoid
that tells us about the dance festival Accountant
Bill attended during his visit to Japan.
SURFER
BOB: Yeah dudes, I ain’t too good
at that there JapOnese dancin’ But I CAN
do some two-steppin,’ line dancin’
and square dancin.’
PENNY:
I agree with what Mr. C said earlier, I
think you would be better off if you stuck to
surfing. That’s still your specialty.
SURFER
BOB: Yeah Penny. But you see, I am MULTI-talented
and MULTI-faceted. I’ve got lots of specialties.
Just like my amigos in Japan. Know what I’m
sayin’?
MR.
CHRISTOPHER: Why don’t you just show
us Bob? Okie doke! Here I go!!! Yeeeeeeee Haaaaaaawwww!
SURFER
BOB: Whoa dudes! Ain’t that somethin’?
They got some surfin’ waves over there,
just like we got over here!
MR.
CHRISTOPHER: Yeah, and just like the United
States, Japan is known for its great wealth, technology
and influence on the entire world. The only problem
is that Japan has never been known for its Christianity.
Wouldn’t it be great if we could someday
see all of Japan come to know Jesus Christ? Think
about how that could change the world!
PENNY:
Our friends in Japan need your prayers
gang! God has given them many gifts and talents,
and as you just saw… they’re busy
putting them to work. But they can’t do
it without your help… and more importantly,
GOD’S help!
ACCOUNTANT
BILL: Hey, uh… Mr… um, Mr.
C? Surfer Bob and I were um, well we sure like
the sound of your voice… uh… especially
uh… when you are praying. And um…
we… we were wondering if you would like
to say a little prayer for our friends in Japan.
Um… yeah.
MR.
CHRISTOPHER: Well I would be honored to
voice that prayer Accountant Bill… let’s
pray. Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for giving
us the life that we have in Jesus Christ. We pray
for our friends in Japan, especially those working
in Tokushima. Lord bless them and the work that
they do, and may it bring glory to Your name.
We also ask, through Your blessings, that Japan
would someday become a nation that worships You.
We ask these things in the precious name of Jesus…
amen.
SURFER
BOB: Thank you Mr. C! That was mighty nice
of ya. Hey, before we go, Bill and I wanted to
let you guys hear from one of our fellow KOMster
buddies…
ACCOUNTANT
BILL: If um… If uh… you would
like to um… well…
SURFER
BOB: Oh just let me do it Billy-boy! If
you want to send us a letter or email write to…
Kids On Mission, P.O. Box 6767 Richmond, VA…
23230.Now do you wanna do the Web site Bill?
ACCOUNTANT
BILL: Uh yes… uh… yes I would…

SURFER
BOB: OK, I’ll do it! www.kidsonmission.org.
ACCOUNTANT
BILL: Well that was um, that was awfully
rude. I mean, uh… I don’t just barge
right, um into… into your sentences…
SURFER
BOB: You know what you need to do Bill?
Do ya?
ACCOUNTANT
BILL: Well… I…
SURFER
BOB: You need to go do some more of your
dancin’. And leave me to doin’ all
the talkin’. All right? (Bob and Bill continue
to argue)
PENNY:
We’ll see you next time gang. Bye!
MR.
CHRISTOPHER: Bye!
