In response to the demand for Volunteer Ministers, the teams in Colombia trained members of the Colombian Civil Defense Department to deliver assists, and then trained police, Boy Scouts and hundreds of civilians. In all, more than 500 people trained in Colombia by the Volunteer Ministers have used assists to help others.
Los Angeles and Colombia are two of many locations Volunteer Ministers have answered the call to assist others, with equally remarkable and beneficial results.
When an earthquake struck Turkey in August 1999, Volunteer Ministers again were there, contributing their energy and unique skills.
In Nicaragua, the dedication and effectiveness of the Volunteer Ministers again proved that in even the worst disasters, there still can be hope. After Hurricane Mitch devastated that country, Volunteer Ministers not only tended to the needs of the hurricane victims, but also trained Nicaraguan Civil Defense, fire service and other workers and volunteers how to use assist techniques.
When Hurricane Georges hammered Puerto Rico, when earthquakes rocked Sakhalin Island and Tokyo, when a tidal wave devastated portions of Papua, New Guinea, and when the federal building in Oklahoma City was bombed, Volunteer Ministers answered the call.
In Los Angeles, and throughout the world, the Volunteer Ministers work to relieve the worst effects of disasters, and are empowering individuals to help themselves and others in their times of the greatest need.
