    Scientology Volunteers Say Prevention Can Help Speed Reopening the Big Island to the Outside World

    A spike in coronavirus cases has dashed the hopes of the Aloha State’s hospitality industry that had looked forward to a September 1st end to the mandatory 14-day self-quarantine order for visitors to the island. Scientology Volunteer Ministers offer a simple solution: understanding and applying the basic principles of prevention.

    A month ago, with COVID-19 holding steady in a low range, it looked like Hawaii would be open for business before Labor Day. But a surge in cases makes that out of the question, according to Gov. David Ige and Honolulu Mayor Kirk Caldwell who announced new restrictions August 18.

    Volunteer Ministers from the Church of Scientology of Hawaii believe understanding the principles of prevention is vital for overcoming this setback.

    They took part in a campaign to distribute educational booklets to Honolulu businesses and households on the basis that “an ounce of prevention is worth a ton of cure.”

    The Church of Scientology has published three booklets containing the basic principles of prevention: How to Keep Yourself & Others WellHow to Protect Yourself & Others with a Mask & Gloves and How to Prevent the Spread of Illness with Isolation. These can be read online or downloaded free of charge at the How to Stay Well Prevention Resource Center on the Scientology website in 21 languages (including Japanese and Chinese). There are also more than a dozen videos illustrating the information from the booklets.

    “You never know who you are going to meet when you knock on a door,” said one of the Volunteer Ministers. “A Korean YouTuber lived at one house. She took a video of us giving her the booklet. She recently moved to Hawaii and said many Koreans are afraid to travel here because of the quarantine, so she wanted to help people back home feel less worried about coming to Hawaii.”

    “One man wanted to share the information with his mother and granddaughter who were coming over. He took a copy for each of them. There was the mother of a young baby who had decorated her door with handmade flowers. She was incredibly thankful and sweet,” said the Volunteer Minister. “It was such a fulfilling and worthwhile experience to do this.”

    Distribution of the educational booklets began in May in communities around Scientology Churches across the globe. The Church of Scientology International Dissemination and Distribution Center printed and shipped 5 million copies of Stay Well booklets.

    The Church of Scientology Volunteer Ministers program is a religious social service created in the mid-1970s by Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard. It constitutes one of the largest independent relief forces. A Volunteer Minister’s mandate is to be “a person who helps his fellow man on a volunteer basis by restoring purpose, truth and spiritual values to the lives of others.”

  • With Kansas in the Red Zone, Scientology Volunteer Ministers Urge Prevention

    With Kansas in the Red Zone, Scientology Volunteer Ministers Urge Prevention

    The White House Coronavirus Task Force has just designated Kansas as a COVID-19 “Red Zone.” Two weeks ago, it placed central Illinois counties on alert. Volunteer Ministers of the Church of Scientology Kansas City are working to bring the pandemic under control by educating the community on prevention.

    Press Release



    updated: Aug 20, 2020

    Volunteer Ministers from the Church of Scientology of Kansas City are tackling COVID-19 with education.

    “We are all in this together,” says the lead KC Volunteer Minister. “By applying proven principles of prevention, we can get through the pandemic and move on.”

    In May, the volunteers distributed thousands of educational booklets to local businesses, churches, and nonprofits so they could in turn provide them to those they serve. And they’ve visited hundreds of households to make sure people have what they need and know how to keep themselves and their families and friends well.

    The Church of Scientology has published three booklets containing the basic principles of prevention: How to Keep Yourself & Others Well, How to Protect Yourself & Others with a Mask & Gloves and How to Prevent the Spread of Illness with Isolation. These can be read online or downloaded free of charge in 21 languages at the How to Stay Well Prevention Resource Center on the Scientology website.

    “I really loved handing out these booklets,” said one of the volunteers. “Everyone was so appreciative.”

    “People need this information,” said the public outreach representative of the KC Fire Department about the booklets he received on behalf of the firefighters.

    A minister who is active in the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce was about to join a Zoom conference when the volunteers came by to bring him copies of booklets. He told them he was concerned about his parishioners—language can be such a barrier to understanding. He was thrilled that the volunteers brought him copies in English and Spanish and found them so informative he wanted to present them to the dozens of Hispanic leaders he would be joining in the conference.

    “We met with one pastor who had many questions about personal health,” said the lead volunteer. “He was impressed to see that all of his questions were answered in the booklets. He found the information on isolation very helpful because it shows people how they can stop the spread of the virus.”

    “You can tell it means a lot to people that we are going out to their homes just to help them,” said a Volunteer Minister. A car pulled up and two teenage boys asked the volunteers why they were going door-to-door. When they showed them the booklets the boys lit right up. One of them asked for five copies for his friends. He was really happy someone was looking out for his neighborhood.

  • South Africa’s Scientology Volunteer Ministers—More Than 100 Days of Service

    South Africa’s Scientology Volunteer Ministers—More Than 100 Days of Service

    Press Release



    updated: Aug 14, 2020

    ​​As soon as South Africa’s President Ramaphosa announced the National State of Disaster on March 15, the Scientology Volunteer Ministers Disaster Response team moved into action. They immediately began decontaminating COVID-19 hotspots and they have not slowed down since.

    Beginning with essential services such as police and fire departments, they extended their help by forming partnerships, beginning with the Department of Social Development with whom they decontaminated over 900 buildings, including shelters and orphanages.

    They extended their reach to clinics, hospitals, the Departments of Roads and Transport, Environmental Health, Arts and Culture and ultimately every municipality in Gauteng.

    Mid-April, they took on daily disinfecting of entire fleets of taxis.

    With more than 200 partnerships from Gauteng to KwaZulu-Natal, Western Cape and Eastern Cape, the Volunteers have provided decontamination to 19,000 buildings, 558,000 vehicles, and railway and bus stations. They have contributed some 350,000 volunteer hours to fighting the pandemic. 

    While they continue these services, a priority of the Volunteer Ministers is the empowerment of others. In that regard, they have handed out 1 million copies of educational booklets on preventing the spread of the virus in English, Zulu, Xhosa and Sotho. 

    They are also offering training to anyone wishing to join their ranks. Their 19 Tools for Life courses are all available free of charge through the Scientology and Volunteer Ministers websites. 

    Caroline, a volunteer who recently completed these courses, said, “The Scientology Tools for Life Courses made me a better person than before. Most of all, I can understand other people’s behavior and am more able to assist them through life’s challenges.” 

    The principal of a school said, “It is amazing to see how many leaders were produced through participation in this training and these leaders are changing the lives of others for the better.” 

    The officer of a South African Police Service (SAPS) station described the training as an “eye-opening experience for me personally.”

    The Church of Scientology Volunteer Ministers program is a religious social service created in the mid-1970s by Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard. It constitutes one of the largest and most visible international independent relief forces. 

    A Volunteer Minister’s mandate is to be “a person who helps his fellow man on a volunteer basis by restoring purpose, truth and spiritual values to the lives of others.” Their creed: “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.”

  • French Scientologists Provide Prevention Resources in the Face of New Outbreaks of COVID-19

    French Scientologists Provide Prevention Resources in the Face of New Outbreaks of COVID-19

    Three booklets and more than a dozen videos on the How to Stay Well Prevention Resource Center provide proven prevention principles in 21 languages. French Scientologists share these resources with their communities.

    Press Release



    updated: Aug 12, 2020

    ​With new cases of COVID-19 nearly doubling in France in recent weeks and so much hinging on bringing the pandemic back under control, French Scientologists urge their communities to learn and adopt the basic principles of prevention.

    When the pandemic began, the most effective measures were researched for ensuring the safety of Church staff and parishioners, and these were implemented internationally as protocols under the direction of Scientology ecclesiastical leader Mr. David Miscavige.

    To make this prevention information broadly available, the Church of Scientology published three educational booklets: How to Keep Yourself & Others WellHow to Protect Yourself & Others with a Mask & Gloves and How to Prevent the Spread of Illness with Isolation.

    With the motto “an ounce of prevention is worth a ton of cure,” as soon as restrictions eased in France, Volunteer Ministers, dressed in protective gear, provided thousands of complimentary copies of the booklets to local businesses and residents. 

    These booklets have been made available in 21 languages to read or download free of charge from the How to Stay Well Prevention Resource Center on the Scientology website, along with more than a dozens videos and infographics that push home the message. 

    “The lockdown was hard on everyone,” says Michel, a Volunteer Minister from Paris who helped with the distribution. “People were happy to finally have restrictions lifted so they could get their businesses going again.”

    “Shop owners and managers appreciate having simple booklets that explain what people can do to keep themselves and their friends and families well,” says a Volunteer Minister named Luca. “We dropped off a box of booklets at a clothing shop and the next day the owner asked for another box and told us how fast the booklets were going. The owner of a pizzeria asked for a display of 100 booklets and another 100 to hold in reserve to have plenty on hand for his customers.” People would stop the volunteers on the street and ask for copies.

    “The answer to this new outbreak is simple,” says Michel. “We can bring it back under control. The answers are all in these booklets. We urge people to visit the How to Stay Well Prevention Resource Center.”

    Scientology Volunteer Ministers have distributed some 5 million copies of Stay Well booklets across the globe. The Church of Scientology Volunteer Ministers program is a religious social service created in the mid-1970s by Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard. It constitutes one of the largest and most visible international independent relief forces.

  • Scientology Volunteer Ministers Living Their Creed: Something Can Be Done About It

    Scientology Volunteer Ministers Living Their Creed: Something Can Be Done About It

    The Church of Scientology Volunteer Minister’s core mission is to help — even in the midst of a pandemic

    Press Release



    updated: Aug 6, 2020

    Whether help is needed at a natural or man-made disaster or a local neighborhood cleanup, Scientology Volunteer Ministers proudly get to work. But a pandemic required a completely different kind of response.

    “When COVID-19 hit Colorado, the world seemed paralyzed,” said Patricia, a Volunteer Minister from the Church of Scientology in Denver. “Officials told us we were safer at home. But is ‘safer’ good enough?”

    With the message “an ounce of prevention is worth a ton of cure,” the Church of Scientology created a How to Stay Well Prevention Resource Center on the Scientology website, including three booklets containing the basic principles of prevention that can be read online or downloaded: How to Keep Yourself & Others WellHow to Protect Yourself & Others with a Mask & Gloves and How to Prevent the Spread of Illness with Isolation. There are also more than a dozen videos showing the simple actions anyone can take to keep themselves and others well. 

    The Church of Scientology in Denver mobilized a corps of Volunteer Ministers to provide this vital information to the community.

    Following all state and local protocols for safety, the Volunteer Ministers donned masks and gloves, zipped up protective gear and hit the streets, handing out 11,000 copies of Stay Well booklets to businesses and door-to-door to local residents.

    Their purpose: to help people with basic principles of prevention through these three educational booklets. 

    “Businesses gladly took the booklets and put them in clear view for costumers to pick up when they entered,” said a volunteer named Paul. “This is bringing calm to the environment,” said Diana. “In one shop, the employees decided to put copies in all the ‘to go’ bags of their customers.”

    Copies of booklets come in boxes that fold into counter displays inviting people to “please take one.” On the back of the booklets, a QR code connects to the How to Stay Well Prevention Resource Center.

    Distribution of the booklets began in May around Scientology churches and missions across the globe. The Church of Scientology International Dissemination and Distribution Center printed five million copies of Stay Well booklets.

    The Church of Scientology Volunteer Ministers program is a religious social service created in the mid-1970s by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard.

  • Going Strong Against COVID-19, Scientology Volunteer Ministers Assist the Community With Tools for Safety and Prevention

    Going Strong Against COVID-19, Scientology Volunteer Ministers Assist the Community With Tools for Safety and Prevention

    With California grappling with escalating COVID-19 cases, the Scientology Volunteer Ministers of the San Jose area rapidly went to work to help their community

    Press Release



    updated: Aug 5, 2020

    ​​​To help their communities get through the pandemic, Volunteer Ministers are providing educational booklets — basic information on how germs spread, why masks are effective, how to put on a mask, how to wash your hands and how to stay well. They distribute three booklets: How to Keep Yourself & Others WellHow to Protect Yourself & Others with a Mask & Gloves and How to Prevent the Spread of Illness with Isolation.

    The most popular languages for distribution of the booklets in San Jose are English, Spanish and Chinese. Teams of volunteers have brought them to restaurants for their takeout customers, to grocery stores, pharmacies, shops and banks. More than 100 businesses received displays inviting patrons to take the booklets. Volunteers also visited some 700 households to make these available to families throughout the community.

    “There’s too much bad news out there and I see fear in my customers’ eyes and in their attitudes,” said the manager of a grocery store. “I truly appreciate that you are giving out solutions rather than contributing to the bad news.”

    “Thank you so much,” said the manager of a bank. He put the booklets on the front island so all customers could see them and take them. 

    At a donut shop, a staffer grabbed the booklets as soon as the volunteers arrived and started to hand them out to patrons. 

    “California is really lagging behind most of the country,” said one of the volunteers from the Church of Scientology of San Jose. “But if everyone applied the simple information in these booklets, we could end this pandemic. That’s why it is so important to us to reach as many people as we can with this vital information.”

    The booklets come in custom-designed boxes that fold into counter displays and invite people to “please take one.” On the back of the booklet, a QR code connects to the How to Stay Well Prevention Resource Center on the Scientology website, where these and other prevention materials are available in 21 languages. 

    Distribution of the educational booklets began in May in communities around Scientology churches across the globe. The Church of Scientology International Dissemination and Distribution Center made this possible by printing and shipping five million copies of Stay Well booklets.

    Neighbors Welcome the Scientology Volunteer Ministers and Join the Campaign to Help Bogotá Stay Well

    The Scientology Stay Well campaign assumes even greater importance in Colombia with the increase in new COVID-19 cases in the country.

    Press Release



    updated: Jul 15, 2020

    ​Teams of Scientology Volunteer Ministers dressed in bright yellow jackets and protective gear picked up copies of educational booklets on prevention at the Church of Scientology Bogotá and saturated their neighborhood with information anyone can use to help themselves and others stay well.

    With the message ”an ounce of prevention is worth a ton of cure,” volunteers brought thousands of copies of educational booklets to businesses and residences. These materials describe the basic principles of prevention in a way anyone can understand and put to use at home or at work.

    The National Health Institute of Colombia reported a record number of 5,336 newly confirmed COVID-19 infections and 187 deaths on July 10, making the use of prevention even more urgent now than it was before.

    Volunteer Ministers loaded up with boxes of three educational booklets: How to Keep Yourself & Others WellHow to Protect Yourself & Others with a Mask & Gloves and How to Prevent the Spread of Illness with Isolation

    “When we entered one store, the manager told me he was one of the first cases of COVID-19 in Colombia,” said a Volunteer Minister (VM) named Juan. “He felt grateful, because having lived through it, he knows there is nothing more important than prevention. Managers of other stores were just as excited to know they are now part of a network of prevention help.” 

    “Neighbors and business owners were so happy to be able to promote prevention to others,” said a VM named Jorge. “Having this information created a sense of security and stability because they knew what to do and could share this with others,” said Nicolas, another Bogotá VM. 

    As for being able to help others with this information, the volunteers described it as “an amazing experience,” “phenomenal” and “unforgettable,” because they saw the impact of what they were doing. “At one store the manager said he wanted 10,000 booklets so he could place copies in every branch of his supermarket chain,” said Juan. “With tears in his eyes, he told us that he was putting the displays in the most prominent locations in each of the stores.”

    The booklets come in custom-designed boxes that fold into counter displays and invite people to “please take one.” On the back of the booklets, a QR code connects to the How to Stay Well Prevention Resource Center on the Scientology website, where these and other prevention materials are available in 21 languages—all free of charge.

    Press Release



    updated: Jul 9, 2020

    “Prevention is important,” say the Volunteer Ministers of the Church of Scientology Sacramento. “By implementing a few simple measures we can get the state back to normal.”

    These measures are covered in a series of booklets Scientologists have been handing out to businesses and residences around town: How to Keep Yourself & Others WellHow to Protect Yourself & Others with a Mask & Gloves and How to Prevent the Spread of Illness with Isolation.

    “Every place we went, people would pick up the booklets and start reading them right away,” said a Volunteer Minister named Nic. “One household we went to, the guy we spoke to had two friends who had the virus. He was super happy to know how to avoid getting it himself.”

    “A neighbor of mine was surprised to find out the booklets were free,” said a Volunteer Minister named Florie. “She asked for more so she could share them with friends and we were happy to give her as many as she needed.”

    When the Volunteer Ministers showed the booklets to the deacon of a local church he asked for and received copies to distribute to those served by the church food bank. These underserved families are among the most at-risk for infection.

    Each of the booklets comes in a custom-designed box that folds into counter displays and invites people to “please take one.” On the back of the booklets, a QR code connects to the How to Stay Well Prevention Resource Center on the Scientology website, which makes these and other prevention materials available in 21 languages—all free of charge. This includes brief videos illustrating the key information, making it easy to understand what a virus is, how it spreads, and the actions anyone can take to protect themselves and their families.

    Press Release



    updated: Jul 7, 2020

    ​With new cases of COVID-19 in Northern California off the chart, understanding prevention and putting it to use at home and at work can give families a vital edge. Volunteer Ministers of the Church of Scientology of Silicon Valley are making educational materials available to businesses and residents. 

    Their response to the record NorCal fire seasons of the past few years made the Volunteer Minister logo a familiar and welcome sight. Now, neighbors are seeing this logo on protective gear and bright yellow caps as volunteers respond to an entirely different kind of disaster with information to help people understand how to take charge of keeping themselves and others well. 

    These volunteers are visiting Mountain View businesses and residences with a series of booklets: How to Keep Yourself & Others WellHow to Protect Yourself & Others with a Mask & Gloves and How to Prevent the Spread of Illness with Isolation

    “Everyone we spoke to thanked us for what we are doing,” said Ellie, a local Volunteer Minister. “I realized how lonely some people were in this neighborhood,” said Sid. “Elderly people especially really appreciated the interaction.”

    These booklets are available in 21 languages, and with some 26 percent of the Mountain View population Asian and more than 21 percent Latino or Hispanic, the Chinese and Spanish editions were in high demand.

    “People would stop their cars and ask for copies of the booklets,” said Sam.  “Everyone thanked us for what we are doing.”

    Each of the booklets comes in a custom-designed box that folds into counter displays and invites people to “please take one.” On the back of the booklets, a QR code connects to the How to Stay Well Prevention Resource Center on the Scientology website, which makes these and other prevention materials available in 21 languages — all free of charge.

  • St. Louis Volunteer Ministers Promote Prevention to Bring New Cases of COVID-19 Under Control

    St. Louis Volunteer Ministers Promote Prevention to Bring New Cases of COVID-19 Under Control

    Within a week of Missouri reopening for business, coronavirus cases rose by nearly 11 percent. “If we want to reboot our economy, we need to practice prevention,” say the Volunteer Ministers of the Church of Scientology St. Louis.

    ​​​​​New cases of COVID-19 in St. Louis have spiked since the city began relaxing restrictions. St. Louis Public Radio reports they have increased 80 percent. “Now is not the time to relax,” says a Scientologist taking part in a campaign to bring prevention materials to the people of St. Louis. “Just by applying the simple principles outlined in the How to Keep Yourself & Others Well booklet we can change this. What you do can affect so many people.”

    Volunteer Ministers from the Church of Scientology St. Louis handed out copies of “Stay Well” booklets to shops, businesses and residences. “The owner of one salon was super appreciative,” said a volunteer. She wanted to make sure she had copies of the booklets for all her clients.”

    “By handling these out, I’m doing the right thing,” said a laundromat manager.

    At one apartment complex, a woman expressed concern about neighbors. “They aren’t even doing the bare minimum that they need to do,” she said. She realized she could make a change by handing out the booklets door-to-door.

    “We’ve never experienced something like this in our lifetime,” said one Volunteer Minister. “We can turn this around but that takes all of us as a community. Things like wearing a mask and social distancing can prevent the spread of the virus. Mayor Krewson announced yesterday that starting July 3, everyone has to wear a mask. If you don’t understand why, it can feel like someone is imposing something on you. That’s why I feel these booklets are so important.”

    Each booklet has a QR code on the back that goes to the How to Stay Well Prevention Center on the Scientology website, which makes these and other prevention materials available, free of charge. The booklets can be read on the website or downloaded. More than a dozen brief videos illustrate the key information, making it easy to understand what a virus is and how it spreads.

    Distribution of these booklets began in May in communities around Scientology Churches and Missions across the globe. The Church of Scientology International Dissemination and Distribution Center made this possible by printing and shipping 5 million copies of Stay Well booklets.
