SCIENTOLOGY VOLUNTEER MINISTERS GOODWILL TOUR
Scientology Volunteer Ministers Goodwill Tour Reaches the South Pacific
The Scientology Volunteer Ministers Goodwill Tour is in Auckland New Zealand, preparing for its launch to Fiji, the first stop in its tour through the South Pacific islands.
As with the Volunteer Ministers Goodwill Tours in Africa, Central Europe, South America and India, and new tours about to embark on their humanitarian mission across Russia and the Far East, the team will meet with civic leaders in each nation, learn what the community needs and provide training to help them accomplish their humanitarian goals, using technology developed by Scientology founder, L. Ron Hubbard They will also train Scientology Volunteer Ministers in each country to leave behind teams that will continue their work once they are gone.
L. Ron Hubbard described the Volunteer Minister program in the following terms, in an essay titled Religious Influence in Society:
“A Volunteer Minister is a person who helps his fellow man on a volunteer basis by restoring purpose, truth and spiritual values to the lives of others.
“A Volunteer Minister does not shut his eyes to the pain, evil and injustice of existence. Rather, he is trained to handle these things and help others achieve relief from them and new personal strength as well.”
Assists are techniques developed by L. Ron Hubbard. They operate on the principle that one tends to withdraw mentally or spiritually from an injured area. Only by restoring communication with this area can one bring the spiritual element into healing, thereby greatly speeding the healing process. Assists are used to alleviate stress and physical aches and pains, or to orient a confused or distraught individual to his present environment.
