Since September 11th 2001, over 60 000 people have trained as Scientology Volunteer Ministers and helped more than 4 million people.
As described on the Volunteer Ministers web site:
"The Scientology religion is unique in that it offers a practical and very effective technology for addressing and resolving society’s problems.
"Volunteer Ministers are specially trained in Scientology techniques capable of resolving the full range of personal problems, from spiritual assists to overcome emotional or physical trauma, to spiritual counseling techniques to resolve drug, learning, ethical and social difficulties. They also have the interpersonal and basic administrative know-how to enable people to communicate better and even work together more efficiently and productively."
The International Association of Scientologists sponsors VM programs called Scientology Volunteer Ministers Goodwill Tours.
