The Californer/10241663

LOS ANGELES - Californer -- Scientology Network's VOICES FOR HUMANITY, the weekly series presenting heroic change makers from a variety of faiths, cultures and nations, working to uplift their communities, announces a new episode featuring Reverend Shadrack Lekoana on May 24, 2023.

VOICES FOR HUMANITY airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Scientology Network.

In South Africa, the church is a trusted place, a place people go for answers to the problems they face in life. But in a country where 55 percent of the population lives in poverty, where unemployment and crime are rampant, church leaders had no real answers to offer their parishioners. Finding practical solutions in The Scientology Handbook, Reverend Shadrack Lekoana is at the forefront of a movement uplifting the lives of millions across South Africa.

Known by his friends as "Pastor" before he was even a teen, Reverend Shadrack Lekoana followed in his father's footsteps, leading a life of service in the church. Despite growing up impoverished, he was the first in his family to go to college, where he earned his theology degree. Years of face-to-face counseling with parishioners led to the realization that he lacked practical solutions to truly help them with their problems. But that changed once he was introduced to The Scientology Handbook. Recognizing the value of the tools contained within the handbook in addressing many of society's ills, he partnered with the Church of Scientology to share the technology with leaders and pastors from all denominations in what have come to be known as "Empowerment Seminars." To date, more than 3,200 members of the clergy have attended, providing them with the practical solutions to turn their churches into "beacons of hope" in the creation of a better world.
