Letter from Our President:

 

 

You and I are on a pilgrimage; we have been on it since the day we were born, and it won't end until our time on earth is finished. What kind of a pilgrimage are you on right now? Surely we can't change past pilgrimages, but with God's help we can change the once we take in the future.

 

Why a pilgrimage?

To help us deepen our focus, to renew spirit of love, forgiveness and peace.

Jesus did it.  All the saints did it, too.

We all need to take time, give space to reflect, look, listen and let God speak to our hearts.

 

Sure, you can do it in your church, your own kitchen, or even in your back yard, but why not consider a week or two of getting away on a pilgrimage? As they say: "stand further to see clearer".

Take a week or two, where there is no worry about work, making dinners, cleaning house, answering telephones or watching the stock market?

 

Jesus said, "I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full" (John 10:10).

 

Share your faith, meet new friends and see beautiful places. You may return with peace, confidence and encouragement. Chances are that upon your return you'll see the same news, and you'll get right back into your routine of work, and although, all the stuff may seem to be the same - yet, you'll know that something has changed, and -  that at the root of it all, all the things that matter point us all to the One Who matters supremely - the God Who made us, Who redeemed us, Who sustains us, and in Whose eyes each and every one of us matters more than all the riches of creations!

 

206 Tours has been offering a modern version of a very ancient experience since 1985.  Throughout history pilgrimages have provided saints and lay people alike with the opportunity to experience peace, love, joy, spiritual growth, compassion, comfort, contentment, a sense of purpose, and enlightened consciousness. 

 

You and I aren't meant to live for Only * a few decades on this earth, we are destined for eternity. The Bible says this world is not our final home; we are "strangers and pilgrims on the earth" (Hebrews 11:13NKJV). Our true home is heaven - and that is where the pilgrimage path leads us.

 

Whether part of a customized group or traveling as an individual, a pilgrim receives the same enthusiastic service from us.  The service we provide will ensure that all costs, inclusions, fees, conditions and itineraries are thoroughly detailed.  

 

A journey with us, is unlike an ordinary tourist experience.  Yes, we offer visits to beautiful and spiritual locations, but  importantly, we understand the desire of our clients to pursue a deeper conversion, connection and transformation. We are fortunate that our vocation is our avocation.  

 

The responses we hear from our Pilgrims and Pilgrimage leaders make our role in their spiritual journey extremely rewarding. Should you wish to read what our clients say visit: www.206tours.com/letters

 

Clearly, for this I give credit to God, Clergy, Group Leaders as well as our travel professionals at 206 Tours. 

 

206 Tours looks forward to working with our past and new pilgrims.  We have found the majority of our clients comes from people that have traveled with us before and are seeking to visit new sites or return to those they have visited.

 

Despite the uncertainty in the world and the travel business - 206 Tours future is bright.

Pilgrimages are older than tourism itself. The desire and spiritual calling of Pilgrims will exist under all conditions. In fact, in uncertain times we find ourselves being called closer to God, the Almighty.  

Our clients, or people who we call "our pilgrims" don't let any outside factors make them forget what is really important: the love of family and friends, the beauty of nature and the God whose love upholds and sustains us.


The greatest joy is knowing that in some way (even if molecule) we, that work at 206 Tours, were an instrument to God in bringing you closer to Him. And as we bring another year of grace, to know that the prayers of so many, are going with us. What a privilege. 

 

Begin a life's pilgrimage afresh by committing your life to Christ and learning to walk with Him every day. This is what our pilgrimage is all about and that is what I invite you to do.

 

To contact me directly, call 1 800 -206- TOUR (8687) x 206 or send me an e-mail milanka@206Tours.com.

May God's richest blessings be with you always.

 

Let the pilgrimage begin!

Why name our company "206 Tours"

  • In the early 80's Milanka made her first pilgrimage. It was to Medjugorje. While there, much of the day revolved around specific time of 20 minutes to 6. Many pilgrims and local people were waiting for twenty minutes to six (20 to 6) PM, as that was the apparition time. No matter what the activities where during her days, she and it seemed everyone else in the village eagerly waited for 20 to 6 PM! It was after that trip that "206 Tours" was born.

  • No matter which pilgrimage path we take sooner or later we come to the cross:                    Prayer  Before the Crucifix:

Behold, O kind and gentle Jesus, I kneel before you and pray that you would impress upon my heart the virtues of faith, hope and charity, with true repentance for my sins and firm purpose of amendment. At the same time, with sorrow I meditate on your five precious wounds, having in mind the words which David spoke in prophecy: "They have pierced my hands and my feet. I can count all my bones." (Ps 22) 

  • Each one of us are made the same - we are all born with 206 bones.

  • 206 Tours was founded in suite 206!

"The world is a book, those who do not travel read Only * a page"  St. Augustine

 


 

Most people love to travel, but some are confused which way to go?

Some are not sure where the journey will take them?

If the trip will be as fulfilling as the commercial promised it would?

Some may go on the most deluxe cruise, or to the rich and famous resort?

Regardless, where, even if you cover the entire world, but if you are not going towards God, it leads you to emptiness.

 

Going anywhere other than towards God, is not fulfilling.

Even the most successful trips, careers and families cannot give the significance, security, peace, and affirmation that the author of glory and love can.

 

Very few of us get all of our wildest dreams fulfilled in life, therefore, it's easy to live in the illusion...that if you were as successful, wealthy, popular, skinny, beautiful -you'd finally be happy and at peace. It just is not so. The moment your striving happens and your ha-ha-happiness occurs you will be empty next day still filling unsatisfied.

Everybody has to go somewhere. Everyone has to live for something. Whatever that something and somewhere is, it eventually becomes "Lord of your life," regardless if you think of it that way or not.

 

The way to Jesus - is the Only * way, if you walk the path, he will fulfill you completely, and if you fail him, will forgive you eternally.

 

Weather you go around the corner or to the Holy Land,  I hope that your pilgrimage leads to God, as it is the highest summum bonum (our ultimate good and life center)
