David Miscavige and the Scientology Volunteer Ministers

DAVID MISCAVIGE AND THE SCIENTOLOGY VOLUNTEER MINISTERS:
BRINGING HELP WHENEVER AND WHEREVER THE NEED

In response to escalating crime and violence through the latter 1960s and early 1970s, L. Ron Hubbard founded the Volunteer Minister Program. It was designed to provide practical tools for engendering understanding and compassion. Moreover, those tools were expressly conceived for use by Scientologists and non-Scientologists alike. Thus was born a broad-based movement of individuals from all walks of life dedicated to providing on-site assistance to communities around the world. Through the last 30 years, Scientology Volunteer Ministers have provided emergency service at 128 worst-case disaster sites.

While no one could have predicted the violence with which the events of 9/11 would tear away society's social veneer, Mr. David Miscavige, http://davidmiscavige.rtc.org/eng/bio/miscavige.htm , saw clearly that it was time Scientologists redoubled their efforts to aid their fellow man. The now-legendary internationally issued directive was entitled The Wake-Up Call. It inspired astonishing growth of the Volunteer Minister program. As of September 11, 2001, there were 6,000 Volunteer Ministers worldwide. Today, they are among the world's most recognized independent relief organizations with over 200,000 Volunteer Ministers on call internationally.
