\u00a0 Courses prepare group for much-needed work in poverty-stricken Vosloorus Township in Gauteng<\/p>\n

The Volunteer Ministers Africa Continental Cavalcade held a unique and passionate graduation, when 120 Christian ministers serving congregations in the Vosloorus Township were certified as Scientology Volunteer Ministers.<\/p>\n

Each of the ministers completed all\u00a019 Scientology Volunteer Ministers<\/a>\u00a0courses including practical assignments to hone their ability and skills. They resolved conflicts, salvaged marriages and helped individuals turn their lives around by coming to terms with past transgressions.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 The Volunteer Ministers\u00a0<\/a>program is intended for use \u00a0by Scientologists and non-Scientologists alike<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

With each new course, it became that much more evident how much these skills will help their congregations. Additionally, a number of the ministers decided to open their own Volunteer Ministers groups to train and enlist parishioners to help the community.<\/p>\n

There was music and dance and tremendous camaraderie at the graduation. The ministers were awarded their certificates. In turn, they presented a large plaque acknowledging\u00a0L. Ron Hubbard<\/a>\u00a0for the spiritual technology they will now use to help their people.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Volunteer Ministers\u00a0<\/a>program is intended for use by Scientologists and non-Scientologists alike. Anyone may train as a Volunteer Minister to use these tools to help their families and communities.<\/p>\n

Equipped with effective technology to resolve virtually any difficulty, Volunteer Ministers live by the motto: \u201cNo matter the problem, something\u00a0can\u00a0<\/em>be done about it.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
