Ron Hubbard\u00a0<\/a>wrote, \u201d 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. How does a Volunteer Minister accomplish these miracles? Basically, he uses the technology of Scientology to change conditions for the better\u2014for himself, his family, his groups, friends, associates and for Mankind.\u201d<\/p>\nPeople of all faiths or none are invited to train in the skills of the Volunteer Minister at any\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.scientology.org\/churches\/locator.html\" target=\"_blank\" class=\" decorated-link\" rel=\"nofollow\">Scientology Church or Mission<\/a>\u00a0or to enroll in any of the 19 free courses through the<a href=\"http:\/\/www.volunteerministers.org\/training.html\" target=\"_blank\" class=\" decorated-link\" rel=\"nofollow\">\u00a0Volunteer Ministers website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\u201cThere are people I have helped who thank me whenever they meet me and explain how they are changed since I solved their problems by teaching them these tools,\u201d says\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.scientologynews.org\/press-releases\/first-certified-scientology-volunteer-minister-of-bangladesh.html\" target=\"_blank\" class=\" decorated-link\" rel=\"nofollow\">Asaduzzaman Sajib<\/a>, a 26-year-old Volunteer Minister from Dhaka who found the Volunteer Ministers program online and completed all 19 courses. \u201cI feel I am providing something exceptional in a society where it is desperately needed, and I am making a huge impact every day.\u201d<\/p>\nThis training is also available at the bright yellow traveling pavilions of the Scientology Volunteer Ministers Continental\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.volunteerministers.org\/newsletter\/2016-06-scientology-volunteer-ministers-help.html\" target=\"_blank\" class=\" decorated-link\" rel=\"nofollow\">Cavalcades\u00a0<\/a>and\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.volunteerministers.org\/newsletter\/2016-05-scientology-volunteer-ministers-amazon-river.html\" target=\"_blank\" class=\" decorated-link\" rel=\"nofollow\">Goodwill Tours.<\/a><\/p>\nA global network of Volunteer Ministers responds in times of disaster. Veteran Volunteer Minister Ayal Lindeman, who has served at numerous disaster sites, says, \u201cOne of the worst effects of tragedy is the hopelessness it leaves in its wake. Survivors suffer almost inconceivable loss\u2014of loved ones and everything they own\u2014and they face an uncertain future.
