Volunteer Ministers and the Help They Provide

What's Next?

2009-06-22T16:54:00.000-07:00

My friends are on the Freewinds at the Maiden Voyage. I can't wait to see the events myself. They are always so inspirational.

For one thing, as a Scientologist I am so proud of what we are doing in society, and David Miscavige does GREAT briefings on what's been going on over the past several months.

My favorite part, of course, is the Scientology Volunteer Ministers, but I love the news about new churches opening, the anti-drug program -- just about anything the church is doing today is pretty cool.

This article gives a good overview of what Scientology Volunteer Ministers actually do in disaster areas and how they provide relief. They use technology from the Scientology Handbook.

Scientology Volunteer Ministers in Ghana

2008-09-03T15:46:00.000-07:00

I have been thinking of joining one of the Scientology Volunteer Ministers goodwill tours. I like to think of them as Peace Corps on steroids (because with Scientology technology these volunteers can actually do something for people.)

For example there's a Scientology Volunteer Ministers tour in Ghana. I'd love to support that one personally!

These Goodwill tours were announced a few years back by David Miscavige. They've been terrifically effective.

I just spent some more time on the Scientology video channel.

I loved the Way to Happiness clips. Some of those hit home pretty personally!

Yo Dude! Videos on Scientology!

2008-03-15T13:02:00.000-07:00

The videos on the Scientology site are so totally cool!

They have their whole own channel! Jeez!

Okay. Ask me a question about Scientology now!!!!

The Scientology Volunteer Ministers Goodwill Tour in the Heart of Europe

2008-02-21T16:42:00.001-08:00

The Scientology Volunteer Ministers Eastern European Goodwill Tour is in Košice, in the Slovak Republic. The Slovak Republic is one of the more recent nations to join the EU, and they had a hard time coming up to the economic bottom line required for entry. When I was last over in Europe and we were driving to Hungary we were advised to steer clear of Slovakia because of higher crime rate there than in other nearby countries. We had to jerrymander our way around to avoid it. But obviously if it affects tourists badly it must be a real problem to natives.

The Goodwill Tour is a really good idea for that area. The courses are free or very inexpensive. Second. And the Scientology Handbook booklets have now been translated into Slovakian.

I've heard from some of the people who did courses or seminars when the Tour was in Romania and Poland that the VMs inspired them to set up their own VM groups. So that's another great reason.

A few years down the road when we hear about the "Church of Scientology of Košice I'll remember reading about this.

Volunteer Ministers Throughout the World

2007-12-21T16:22:00.000-08:00

The Scientology Volunteer Ministers have become a major movement throughout the world, delivering effective help to people by the thousands. The What is Scientology? site includes a section that describes in detail what they accomplish. Hearing about their successes is always of interest to me.

Volunteer Ministers Site

2007-12-18T14:13:00.000-08:00

I really like the new Scientology Volunteer Ministers site, with the intro film, visuals and data on all aspects of the Volunteer Ministers movement all over the world. These dedicated people show absolutely that Something Can be Done About It.

What Makes a Volunteer Excel

2007-09-26T19:55:00.000-07:00

There are many very dedicated and well-meaning volunteers, and our world would be a sad and barren place without them.

But the volunteers who are most valuable are those who are trained and really help others.

There are Doctors Without Borders and engineers and construction professionals who volunteer their time in war zones, disaster areas, and 3rd World countries.

But you don't have to have years of training, a trade union membership or a degree. In fact with just a bit of study of the Scientology Handbook anyone can improve his/her value as a volunteer and provide real help to people

VMs in Peru

2007-09-20T21:04:00.000-07:00

The Scientology Volunteer Ministers who flew to Pisco to help in the aftermath of last month's earthquake did such a good job there. The administrative technology covered in the Scientology Handbook by L. Ron Hubbard is of enormous help in these kinds of situations. When the local infrastructure breaks down and people are not only confronted by the loss of their homes, their friends and family members, their livelihoods, their possessions and on top of that they are living in shelters with limited food and water and no privacy, it is a real help to have people who know how to organize the place, how to administer basic trauma relief, and how to put people to work, cleaning, serving and helping one another.

The team of VMs in Pisco included several veterans of other disasters and they were able to simply step in and take control of the shelters in Pisco, the town hardest hit by the earthquake.

This photo shows two of the VMs administering Scientology assists to emergency relief personnel.

In a recent international Scientology event David Miscavige described Volunteer Ministers as people who give unconditional help. It's really true, and Pisco was a real example of this.

I just had the opportunity to speak to two of the volunteers who left within 2 days of the disaster and only returned home this week. They both described the month they were in Peru as one of the most incredible experiences of their lives. They were getting hardly any sleep; they were living in the same terrible conditions that the victims of the disaster were living in; they experienced the death and loss firsthand. But the fact that they were able to really help people will remain with them the rest of their lives as one of the most important things they have ever done.

There is a team of Volunteer Ministers who have been in Peru for most of the past month helping the survivors of the 7.9 earthquake.

If you can help with donations, or join the relief effort, contact the Volunteer Ministers Consultant at vm@volunteerministers.org

Or if you can volunteer your time they will train you, using the Scientology Handbook, and see that you get the help you need to succeed as a VM.

Help Needed in Peru

2007-08-17T17:15:00.000-07:00

There's a Volunteer Ministers team forming up in the City of Ica in Peru to help in the aftermath of the magnitude-8 earthquake that hit there yesterday morning.

Anyone who can go is urged to contact the Volunteer Ministers Consultant at vm@volunteerministers.org

You will need to provide your own transportation there and back. Donations are being collected to fund the team on the ground, and anyone who can donate should also contact the VM Consultant.

More than 450 people were killed and 1500 injured and there are shortages of food, medical supplies and medical help. So anything you can do to help is really needed.
