Sceintology Ministers

Now imagine a world where everyday people have the technology to change these conditions and create happier, more productive lives. This is the domain of a Scientology Volunteer Minister. A Volunteer Minister is someone who, on a strictly volunteer basis, helps out his fellow man by providing simple, basic counseling to people he meets to assist them in overcoming difficulties they may be having in life. A Volunteer Minister understands that something needs to be done about the world and wants to do what he can to help those around him.

The goal of the Scientology Volunteer Minister Program is to restore spiritual values to society and bring about a world based on trusting relationships, honest dealings and kind actions.

The forces that threaten to tear the fabric of civilization to shreds can be subdued, not by meeting force with force or violence with violence, but by compassionate use of the exact technologies of Scientology as contained in The Scientology Handbook to help the individual man or woman solve the problems which face him or her. Where this technology is well applied, positive change invariably occurs. With the same degree of predictability that “an apple falls when dropped,” the tools used in the Volunteer Minister Program bring about definite and lasting improvement.

One need not believe in the Scientology Volunteer Minister Program. One need not change any beliefs. One need only apply the technology and observe that it works.

A special knowledge in the handling of life is what the Scientology Volunteer Minister Program offers, and it is for anyone to use. With that, we can truly begin a crusade to build a better world.

Your own life and reason for being can be better. Your family and those close to you can be happier. Your groups can be more productive and successful. Your community can be made a better place for people to live. Volunteer Ministers doing likewise in their communities can give us a better, more compassionate nation. And Volunteer Ministers at work in other countries can one day give us harmony among all nations. Then we’ll see an end to conflict on Earth and the flourishing of a civilization without war, criminality or insanity, where people are free to create their lives and the future.

This is a crusade worth joining. You can participate wherever you are, on a part-time basis. What you need to know is easy to learn and easy to apply. In truth, you cannot lose by becoming a Volunteer Minister. You’ll be contributing to a grass roots movement where everyone, in the end, will win. And you’ll have had a hand in making this a far, far better world.

The first thing that you can do is to read The Scientology Handbook and work out how to apply some of the techniques in it to improve your own life. If you are having any difficulty with this each chapter of this book is offered as a very inexpensive course at the Church of Scientology where you can formally study the information and drill it until you are sure you can apply it.

The next step is to find someone else to apply the material to. Once you have done this successfully you can get yourself registered with the Church of Scientology. You can go on helping your friends and family as a VM, or you may choose to be sent out to see people who will need your help. You may have the ability to set up your own group of Volunteer Ministers to tackle a certain problem in society, such as drug abuse, or illiteracy. And for those who are really dedicated you may be called upon to help in disaster relief, as hundreds of Australian VMs did last year to aid survivors of the South-East Asian Tsunami.

In any case, a VM is helping others, and working with other VMs around Earth to create a better world.

For more than 25 years, in more than 150 nations, Volunteer Ministers have brought effective solutions to bear on the problems, large and small, of the world, using only the techniques as given here.

Volunteer Ministers have provided assistance to refugee camps in Kosovo, to earthquake victims in Kobe, Japan and to survivors of the bombing in Oklahoma City.

They have trained Red Cross personnel in technologies to further their relief efforts in Western China, to aid those displaced by an earthquake on Russia’s Sakhalin Island and to assist victims of Hurricane Katrina which devastated New Orleans. Volunteer Ministers were on the front lines in New York following the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, as well as helping firefighters closer to home in Australia. Since 1995 alone, Volunteer Ministers have been instrumental in helping people recover from no less than 28 natural and man-made disasters across the world.
