Update from here in Singapore!
Here’s an update from here in hazy but beautiful Singapore...(BTW: for 2 weeks out of the year, Singapore’s city skyline is filled with thick air and hazy smoke. Its because Indonesia is burning its crops at the end of their harvest. Its the middle of the two weeks now...But it looks like rain right now! Had a section of the Teen Track this afternoon for 100 middle schoolers at an international school! It went great, and we had fun hanging and speaking with them.
Praise God for making way before us, and for preparing the hearts of those we reach! Check out: http://generationsofvirtue.wordpress.com/ for

::In the living room of our apartment here in Singapore... a few members of the GOV team and I are sitting around each with his or her laptop::
Each intently working on emails, updating websites, Twitter, FB, Blogs, arranging and booking flights, taxis and different engagements, im-promtu staff meeting to sort out the kinks. One of the girls gets an email. It totally brightened and made our day over here in Singapore! Your support means so much, and we really do feel your prayers over here =D Blessings back at ya from here in beautiful Southeast Asia.
Hello GOV,
I attended a conference by guys back in June at my local homeschool it changed my life!
You all are so encouraging and it strengthened my faith and I realized what a call to purity God has given us.
I just wanted to let you know that I will be praying for you all as you travel to Asia and that God will grow you in your faith and help you reach others for Him.
Grace, Peace and Love in our Heavenly Daddy....

O Dumbo....
Amen Sista. (I rode it too: and it was an awesome family bonding time together =D I am SO taking my family to ride elephants into jungle rivers at least once…God is ultimately creative in all that He has made! I learned some awesome facts about those gentle giants-check these out: They are one of the only animals that celebrates a birth, and mourns a death. They stick together through thick and thin in families. They can live to be up to 80 years old! And good grief: an elephants pregnancy term is up to 22 months! They have an amazing memory, and are one of the only creatures who can process a situation and actually reach a concensis and solve the problem. Oh, and note to self: they are not as cushy as they look. Their backbone sticks out a good 10 inches, and that thing has Big hips-I thought I would fall off with its swagger. They are now one of my favorite animals. That and whales. Humpback whales are incredible. If you go to Hawaii between the months of December to March-the humpback whales are there to have their babies-due to the warm water and food. Humpbacks will celebrate each birth-if a baby is born, they sound the announcement, and for miles around-simultanously-they will all jump up to the surface to celebrate. That’s why its one of the best times to go whale watching. Anyway- God’s creation is so outstanding….and if He put this much effort and creativity into whales and elephants: how much more did He put into you? What did HE want YOU to accomplish for His glory in your time right now?
Yeah. I go deep into this elephant riding stuff. I had a blast-and will have more fun as I delve deeper into this time God’s given me right here and now. I challenge you to do the same.
Blessings from here in hot Malaysia, (I am writing this sitting on the marble floor to try to cool down…pray for a cold streak will ya? :P)
Munch on that for awhile and thanks for all your prayers,

(This was written sometime last week. Quick REAL update: entire crew is here in Singapore for another week! Getting ready to leave for a big teen track at a school this afternoon! (Your middle of the night).....Praise God for His headway as we watch Him work His way and unfold things only He can imagine! =D )

Malaysia: elephants and murky rivers.
Note to self: when riding an elephant wear those old-fashioned laundry clips over my nose. They are not the best smelling animals on earth but are definitely one of the funnest to ride.
Yup.
*I rode an elephant
Sometimes you wonder if someone dared you to get dumped into a murky river in the middle of the Jungle by an elephant…would you do it? Ok….maybe you have never wondered that, but still. Would you? I did. And I wasn’t even dared. I admit. I’m proud of myself. If you ever get a chance to do that do that in an instant. The sheer thrill of riding an exotic animal is beyond words. You try to captivate a memory like that forever, sealing it permanently in a little capsule. :P And there it is. Any exciting memory can sustain you in those times where life drones on in an endless stream…etc….etc….A memory is one of those things you cannot delete. That’s why its SO important to look and experience only the things that God wants us to. We cannot delete them. They are there forever, constantly coming back to us at the worst of times. But we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. There are plenty of temptations out there, so you won’t be lacking for practice. :P As you can see, I like making life lessons out of fun things. Always looking for something new (and washing the smell out of my Elephant Clothes) ☺

P.S.
Did you know that elephants have, like, six times the brain capacity as us! I’m feeling slightly dwarfed…. =D
Yup.

Check out the website for a glimpse of the GOV team's latest doings ;) Lol......and don't forget to follow on Twitter and FB. We will post soon again. Limited internet for us-but we're doing great! Headed to Singapore on Monday! In KL, Malaysia right now-and the GOV team is ministering today in East Malaysia! Keep them in prayer!

Greetings from Singapore!
Generations of Virtue landed safe and sound along with all their luggage, boxes of resources, and gear…oh ya….and us kids too. They didn’t forget those somewhere. We had safe flights and are resting in Singapore for the following few days. Here’s a few prayer requests to keep in mind for the next few days:
Pray for Julie-the next few days she has a quick turnaround from jetlag to begin her ministry here in Singapore. Pray for alertness, easy nights and added grace. So far, her first 3 events and speaking engagments have gone off splendidly!
Keep the little ones in prayer: jet lag is times 10 for a three year old…especially when its completely opposite time zone.
Pray for added health protection. The flu is still a big deal over here, and we don’t want to catch anything. But so far, we are all in pretty good shape!
Multiple guardian angels as we travel around the city-by taxi, MRT, walking, and other transportation.
That would be it for all. Weight for the bags came in right on the dot. Praise the Lord! No bags were lost or missing, all 37 were accounted for-and that includes the boxes of GOV books and resources! Flights were smooth and we arrived safe and sound. Obviously.
Random fact: I did not know you could have avacado shortcake. Yeah. Did not partake on that course.
We attended an amazing 10,000 member church here on Sunday morning. Connection with leaders and pastors and continuing on to multiple meetings and events. Thank you all for your prayers-and may God bless you and keep you all over there in the US and elsewhere, and may He keep us here in Singapore. We’ll keep ya updated as within the next few days-we move onto our next stop: Malaysia! Tomorrow we head to KL.
Blessings,
Bri
