July 26– August 1, 2008Welcome to our 9th Annual Family Encampment at Historic

Camp Richardson, in South Lake Tahoe, California

DiRECToR’S mESSAgEHave you noticed - - - we are closer to eternity than ever before? My consciousness of a bright and joy-filled forever with God and the redeemed is increasing each day. The journey, so sweet with refreshing fellowship is far beyond my ability to express adequate gratitude for it all. At Tahoe we pause on our pathway to the city of God, holding hands and hearts, as we sing, pray and praise. The highlight of our year is the magnificent week spent together studying and growing at the feet of our Master. I can not imagine life devoid of this thrill. Our theme: “Things That Cannot Be Shaken”, comes amid pressing problems and loss of appre-ciation for what is right in the sight of God. We need to hear and heed from God Himself the

solemn admonition; ‘Be still and know I AM GOD!!!” Each lesson is designed to draw us closer to His Holy will. We ask that you seriously examine the scriptures with the continuing resolve to do everything as He directs. It is impossible to express thanks to each one who sacrifices to make the encampment possible. It is the joint-effort of so many. Thank you! Again this year my precious Pat has invested more hours than anyone, touching all the bases to make the details gel. We’d be lost without her!

Let us again lovingly work together preferring each other. The week will be memorable and our young people will never forget seeing Christianity beautifully displayed in each one present. We love you! You are special!

moNEy mATTERS!Throughout all past years, you have generously covered the expenses of our encampments. We

are most grateful to you. This year we are all impacted adversely by rising prices, especially fuel. We each have carefully planned finances

to be able to cover our personal expenses. Still it will be increasingly difficult to give to adequate-ly defray the costs of TFE in 2008. We have care-fully held spending to only necessities. No one is paid; as needed speakers receive housing and/or travel costs. Some of our preachers and teach-

ers have graciously agreed to cover their own expenses; and we are so grateful to them.

As difficult as it is, we encourage each one to give as much as possible that our bills will be

paid. Among the expenses is $4000 rent to Seventh Day Adventists for use of all fourteen

tents and 1400 chairs. Plus approximately $10,000 to Camp Richardson for Eagle's Nest

spaces required for these tents throughout our stay. These are unalterable, non negotiable costs.

Fuel for trucks moving TFE trailers of equip-ment and supplies will likewise be increased this year. If perchance you might make a larger gift or "adopt" a speaker's costs, maybe in memory of a loved one, this would be a blessing for all. Checks (tax-deductible) may be made to Tahoe

Family Encampment.

Thank you --- Thank You!!

TFE PRogRAm 2008 This year we are all adversely impacted by increased costs for every-

thing. We each have calculated our travel and accommodations costs with sacrifices being made to cover essentials. No one is paid for any participation at Tahoe. As needed we aid our speakers by providing

housing and sometimes assistance with travel costs. We wish we could do more. We have cut TFE's costs everyway possible. Some expenses are non-adjustable. We know it is difficult but, we hope you will give generously to pay our bills. Your individual gifts are SO IMPORTANT!

We love you!!

NATHAN HoUSE"Things that CAN be shaken"

This class will contrast the things in this world, which CAN BE SHAKEN, with those things that cannot be shaken. Science can be shaken, but Christ and His creation cannot be shaken. The Good Shepherd versus the hired hand - - - shak-able versus unshakable. Good council of Jesus versus the bad council of friends.

ole’-Time Tent RevivalSince the restoration movement of the 1800's, some of the greatest soul-winning events took place under the “Big-Top” of ole’-time Gospel “tent revivals”. In those days often whole communities and settlements came to sing, pray and study God’s Word. We are fortunate to have a total of twelve tents to accommodate both keynote and class activi-ties. Lets relive the days of yesteryear when the ole’-time revivals drew us closer to His Word and teachings. What an experience for our children and grandchildren.

Let your light so shine before men that they might see your good works and glorify your Father, who is in Heaven. Matthew 5:16
