In 1996 and 2004 I facilitated conflict transformation training programs in Liberia for church leaders and community activists. The 1996 visit sparked the creation of the Liberian Baptist Peace Fellowship which has supported the negotiation efforts that ended the civil war which deposed the government of Charles Taylor. I’ve trained and consulted with the leaders of the LBPF over the years.
