It's pretty clear from watching Scientology events where David Miscavige is often the guest speaker, that Mr. Miscavige is very proud of the work Scientology Volunteer Ministers do around the world. There's hardly an event now where he doesn't give an update on VM activity.
Back in 2004 at the 34th anniversary of the Church of Scientology Celebrity Center International, David Miscavige said this:
"They have become internationally known and recognized for what has been described as spiritual first aid, and to that end they are ready and organized to respond to any disaster — 'man-made' or by force of nature.
"Most notable, of course, were our Volunteer Ministers at Ground Zero, in the immediate aftermath of 9/11.
"Everything — from logistical work on the bucket lines, to caring for the rescue workers so deeply affected in the aftermath, our Volunteer Ministers were there for the duration. As for the help they provided, they were the only civilian group invited to participate in the Police Service, in memory of rescue efforts on the one-year anniversary of September 11th.
"But, what matters to us is the help we bring, and it is literally the same story in countries across the world."
And the movement has just continued to grow in size and impact.
