The Volunteer Minister began each session by playing a film from The Tools for Life DVD. These films and free online courses in this technology include practical exercises where the students put the tools to use helping others. The online courses are supervised by trained Scientology Volunteer Ministers who can direct the student to the answers to any questions they have and help ensure they are successful in the application of the technology. They are available through the Volunteer Ministers website and on Scientology.org.

The Kisii seminar was a success and a follow-up program was scheduled for next month to train the ministers in tools to resolve marriage problems—a skill they said they really need as each of them has had to intervene before marital difficulties escalated into violence.

The Volunteer Ministers program was expressly intended for use by Scientologists and non-Scientologists alike. Anyone of any culture or creed may train as a Volunteer Minister and use these tools to help their families and communities. And all are welcome to do so.
