I'm Moving!

After seeing the title you probably were not surprised. You may have said to yourself, "Charlie is always going somewhere so that's not very shocking." While that statement is very true, this time I am referring to moving on the internet. Specifically, I am changing where I will be posting these updates and stories.

Ever since starting this "blog" over a year ago as a result of starting the Young Daniel program it has been a way to think back about experiences I had, as well as a way to share those experiences with others. I have enjoyed being able to write these posts. The only part I found lacking was the platform itself that I was posting on. For the most part it is alright, but there were definitely some parts that I didn't enjoy. That being said, today I want to let you know that I am moving to a different site.

From now on you you can find me here: https://charliestrangestories.wordpress.com

I am not entirely locked down on the style of the new site. There is potential to switch around the look of it, but for now I figured it was a good start. I have taken all the posts from this blog and put them on the other as well. I categorized them by year so if you ever choose to look back you have that option. Also on the new site is a new story! The story can also be found at https://charliestrangestories.wordpress.com

I will do my best to put reminders here when I post for awhile to make the transition a little more smooth. Thank you for your continued interest and I look forward to seeing you soon on the other site.

Daniel Weekend Experience

A week and a half a go I had the awesome opportunity to participate in a Daniel Weekend. The Daniel weekend is focused on Christian educators and encouraging and uplifting them in what they do. I created a video about the experience and would like to share that with you.

Here is the link to that video:

I am enjoying learning more about creating videos and would really appreciate any insight you have on it.

Thank you for reading and for watching,

March Update!

This has been long in coming, but here is a brief video overview of some things that I have been a part of over the last few months. I have been working with the ministry called Tentmakers, and more specifically the Young Daniel program.

Here is the link to the video:

What's Next?

Last week (before Christmas) I spent several days in Minnesota preparing for when I more permanently move there in January. Workshops, meetings, and catch up times were all essential to what will be coming next. To share more on what's next for me I worked with my friend to create a video.

Watch the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iaXlC0dZDK0

If you are interested in supporting Tentmakers so that I can be fully invested in what I will be doing that would be amazing! There are a few different ways you can do this. You can send a check to P.O. Box 84 Chanhassen Mn 55317 and make a note that it is for me. Or you can also visit www.tentm.org and donate online. If you would consider becoming a monthly supporter that would also be fantastic. Thank you for joining my team!  

As I go forward I want to continue to keep you in the loop of all that will be going on. Whether it be video updates, blog updates, or Facebook updates I want to make it my goal to keep you informed on what I will be doing over the next few months.

Thank you once again,
Charlie

Young Daniel Year Summary

Well look at that snow! Overnight we transitioned here in Wisconsin from fall to winter.

I am excited to share with you a video I made with my talented friend Andy Evans. It gives a summary of my last year. What a year it was! I hope that this gives you a glimpse into what went on, and some of the key things that I learned over the course of the year. 

The video is linked here:

Within the next week I will be adding another video about what is coming up next. Some exciting things to be sure. 

As usual I would love to hear from you! What has God been doing in your life over the last year? As you reflect on it, what are some of things that you learned over the past year?

Quick Czech Republic Video

It has been a busy few weeks, but I wanted to share a quick video I made about Leadership Quest. Leadership Quest is a several day, intensive leadership camp that has been happening for years up at Wilderness North in Minnesota. This year marked the first time it had been brought to another country. What a special opportunity!

Anyways, here is the video:

Hope you are doing well. If you have questions about how my trip went please feel free to email me c.strange.27@gmail.com or text me at (608)217-6956

The Czech Countdown Is Real!

Only four days until one of the biggest adventures of my life begins...

I just came out of a wonderful yet exhausting Change Retreat. The past couple days were spent in a camp environment on Lake Ripley. The days were spent in session, in music, and in some exciting games. We really dug deep into our Identity in Christ, in dreams for the future, and did some planning for the future. It was truly an excellent thing to do right before a mission trip.

Now everything is fully focused on getting ready to leave in four days. I would like to highlight something as well. My really good friend and fellow Young Daniel, Aaron Andrews is still in need of funding in order for him to join us in the Czech Republic. Aaron is a huge part of our team and there would be a very large gap in our team if he isn't able to make it.  Not to mention he would miss an amazing opportunity. I would appreciate if you would read this letter he wrote and consider helping him out. Thank you! https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6jfgGATsLBNZ2NWaVhQajdEaEU4TU56ZUx0TFc0NnY1VHc4/view?usp=sharing

That all being said here are a few ways to keep up to date with me while I am gone (besides this blog of course).

I will most not likely be available by text message or phone call. However, if you have an iPhone I should be able to iMessage on occasion.

I appreciate all of you and I hope that God will continue to bless each of you over the next coming weeks,
