The Churches of Scientology Disaster Response is always
active in times of disaster. This has not changed with the unseen enemy of
COVID-19.
Jennifer, a Scientology Volunteer Minister in Nashville, is
always willing to help people. During times of disaster, she springs into
action. With how COVID-19 has utterly changed the ways of life for people as we
know it, she took action when called upon to help with food delivery for those
unable to leave their homes during this pandemic.
Jennifer takes the words of L. Ron Hubbard to heart: “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.”
“Every little bit helps,” says Jennifer. “Any help is
appreciated and everyone can find some way to help. I consider it an honor to
give my time and help to ease another’s load in their time of need.”
Working with the Nashville General Hospital Foundation,
Jennifer has been able to deliver groceries every week since March in the
Middle Tennessee region, and there’s not sign of stopping. “I’ll be out every
day that I’m needed,” she said, “I get the call, and I’m there.”
Recently, she’s even recruited other volunteers to help
share the load and get more food to those in need.
The Volunteer Ministers (VM) program was launched more
than thirty years ago, in response to an appeal by Scientology Founder L. Ron
Hubbard. Noting a tremendous downturn in the level of ethics and morality in
society, and a consequent increase in drugs and crime, Mr. Hubbard wrote, “If
one does not like the crime, cruelty, injustice and violence of this society,
he can do something about it. He can become a VOLUNTEER MINISTER and help
civilize it, bring it conscience and kindness and love and freedom from travail
by instilling into it trust, decency, honesty and tolerance.”
