John Travolta at the G'Day USA 2010 Black Tie Gala held at the Hollywood & Highland Center (1/16)

Instead of hitting "Send" on his cell phone to donate $10 and then forgetting about it, John Travolta is taking a hand-on approach to Haitian relief efforts. From the San Francisco Chronicle:

The 55-year-old actor and avid pilot [flew] one of his private jets from Florida to Haiti on Monday night, according to Travolta's spokesman, Paul Bloch. The "Pulp Fiction" star will be joined by his actress-wife Kelly Preston, several doctors and Church of Scientology ministers, as well as relief supplies. Travolta and Preston will then return to the U.S.

Did you catch that? " . . . and Church of Scientology ministers." John flew in a bunch of Scientology stormtroopers. And they're doing more than just hand out food and water. They're doing their freaky Scientology stuff. From Breitbart:

Amid the mass of aid agencies piling in to help Haiti quake victims is a batch of Church of Scientology "volunteer ministers", claiming to use the power of touch to reconnect nervous systems.

Clad in yellow T-shirts emblazoned with the logo of the controversial US-based group, smiling volunteers fan out among the injured lying under makeshift shelters in the courtyard of Port-au-Prince's General Hospital.

"We're trained as volunteer ministers, we use a process called 'assist' to follow the nervous system to reconnect the main points, to bring back communication," she said. "When you get a sudden shock to a part of your body the energy gets stuck, so we re-establish communication within the body by touching people through their clothes, and asking people to feel the touch."

Why would Scientologists be interested in Haiti? It's a well documented fact that Haitians don't have the one thing the Church of Scientology is infatuated with: souls money. Of course, if it isn't already, it should soon be pretty obvious why the Church is sending in its ministers to such a ravaged part of the world: to perform medical exams conversions. "Never waste a good natural disaster." I think Jesus said that.
