Joshua’s tireless and remorseful effort to reconcile with his nation and it’s people is paramount to him. He returned to Liberia the first time after six years of living in exile in 2004 and assisted in the disarmament process for one year before returning to his family in the refugee camp in Ghana. In 2007 Joshua left his family in Ghana and travelled to Liberia to prepare for the return of his family to Liberia because he had decided to appear before the TRC (Truth And Reconciliation Commission) of Liberia in 2008, not knowing his fate. Joshua wanted to secure a home for his family.

Realising the uncontrollable increase of violence crimes in Liberia despite approximately 15 000 United Nations peace keepers and the national security force, Joshua noticed that crimes increased and will continue if the Liberian society do not accept ex-combatants. Joshua launched his campaign against violence in deepest hideaway of the ex-fighters turn criminals where fifty gang leaders accepted Christ.—http://joshuamiltonblahyi.com
