The Church of Scientology International, Inc. (CSI) is a Californian 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation. Within the worldwide network of Scientology corporations and entities, CSI is officially referred to as the "mother church" of the Church of Scientology.

According to the official website of the Church of Scientology, "CSI provides overall direction, planning and guidance for the network of churches, missions, field auditors and volunteer ministers which comprise the Scientology hierarchy it spans, and ensures these various organizations are all working effectively together. [...]"

"CSI broadly plans and coordinates Scientology expansion. This planning is then carried out by the individual networks of organizations which comprise ecclesiastical management at the continental echelon. Through CSI’s ecclesiastical management activities, Scientology churches receive guidance in applying the scriptures both technically and administratively. [...]

"In addition to guiding the growing Scientology hierarchy, CSI sees to the publication of Scientology scripture, both in written and audiovisual form, including some three thousand of L. Ron Hubbard's tape-recorded lectures. A division within CSI, Golden Era Productions, is responsible for producing these recordings as well as E-Meters, religious training films, slide shows and videos of Scientology. It supports the religion worldwide by publishing informational brochures and posters, and parishioner magazines in many languages. Golden Era also compiles, designs and translates new books and other religious materials based on Mr. Hubbard’s researches and writings into more than 60 languages. [...]"

In a 1993 memorandum by CSI, the following information was provided to the Internal Revenue Service with regards to CSI's role and functions, its personnel and its income:

"[...] CSI [...] is the Mother Church of the Scientology religion, with ecclesiastical authority over the ministry of religious services to parishioners by all subordinate churches within the ecclesiastical hierarchy. This church has a staff of approximately 990 individuals and an annual budget of approximately $ 46.8 million, based on its annual disbursements for the most recent year for which financial statements are available. [...]"

This show features former Jehovah's Witness for 15 years & now Christian author Lorri MacGregor. Lorri is the author of the book, "Coping with the Cults." She has appeared on "The John Ankerberg Show." When Canada forced MacGregor Ministries to change the ministry or shut down and Lorri decided that it was time to shut down MacGregor Ministries, the four ministry directors (Keith and Lorri MacGregor and Richard and Cheryl Schatz) formed MM Outreach Inc in Canada with Richard Schatz as president as well as a non-profit organization in the US to continue on the work. When Keith and Lorri retired in the spring of 2011, the work of the ministry has been carried on by the two remaining directors. Lori has since gone into retirement on the west coast of Canada with their extended family. The MM Outeach is now directed by Cheryl Schatz, who has a love for Jehovah's Witnesses and a call from the Lord (website www.MMOUTREACHINC.COM) & the ministry has distributed free literature warning about the dangers of cults throughout Canada & the United States. The ministry has touched the lives of <b>...</b>

This shall be part of the NWO or New World Order ( Global government) These Are false religions, and their origin is of Satan, and his demons. Jesus Christ is the ONLY WAY UNTO SALVATION. If you are involved in these false religions. If you repent, turn from them, and their practices. God will forgive you, and his presence will become known to you as you follow Jesus Christ John 3:16 King James Version (KJV) 16For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Jesus Christ isn't a religion. It is a ONE on ONE relationship with son of your living God, and creator. These religions is a deception to lead YOU away from the TRUTH of Gods word, and to believe in a delusion/deception. CHOOSE JESUS TODAY FRIENDS............

9.92 min. | 5.0 user rating		 This video is totally in Spanish because it was made to warn Spanish speaking peoples of the dangers of false religious cults (such as Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormonism, etc) who deny essential Bible doctrines such as the Trinity, the deity of Jesus who is the GOD-man, the deity of the Holy Spirit, the physical resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, etc. If you have Spanish speaking friends or relatives who may have become entangled in cults but you don't know enough Spanish to converse effectively with them then e-mail them this video (copy the video link & then paste it onto your e-mail) & perhaps God (2 Timothy 2:24-26) will use it in their lives. Besides this video, our ministry has produced several other videos in Spanish to help those of that language. The following videos are also currently posted on YOUTUBE & can be shared with Spanish speaking friends, associates, relatives or Spanish speaking Christian pastors & evangelists who could use this type of Biblical help: "SOBREVISTA DE RELIGIONES COMPARATIVAS" #1 & #2 ("Comparative Religions Overview" - this miniseries compares the many world religions & cults with the Bible) & "Guerra Espiritual Serie de Video #1: Introduccion a Guerra Espiritual" ("Spiritual Warfare Series #1: Introduction to Spiritual Warfare") & "Guerra Espiritual Serie de Video #2: La Suffuciencidad de los Escrituras" ("Spiritual Warfare Series #2: The Sufficiency of the Scriptures").
