Dove Gospel at the DPCW 9th Anniversary – A Global Step for Peace
We have been honored to take part in the 9th Anniversary Commemoration of the Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War (DPCW), held in Sydney as part of a global initiative spanning over 120 nations.
Hosted by HWPL (Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light), a civil peace organisation with special consultative status at the UN ECOSOC and affiliation with the UN Department of Global Communications, the event brought together leaders, peace advocates, and institutions committed to advancing peace through education, legal frameworks, and grassroots unity.
A significant highlight was the signing of a new Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), strengthening partnerships for peace and reinforcing shared goals for a more harmonious world.
As a Network Partner with HWPL, Dove Gospel affirms its dedication to peace not just in principle, but through meaningful collaboration and action. The theme, “Together in Harmony: Uniting for Peace,” captured not only the tone of the event, but the collective vision being pursued worldwide.
We’re grateful to be part of this global movement, walking alongside others in pursuit of lasting peace.

An Open Letter to the People and Leaders of Ukraine and Russia
James Hughes | Ecumenical Patriarch of Dove Gospel - Multinational
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
I speak to the people of Ukraine and Russia, with a heart of love and a plea for peace, a peace that only the Holy Spirit can provide.
“Every knee will bow, every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.” (Philippians 2:10–11)
I call upon you to bow your hearts before the Lord, to confess His name, and to let Him guide your path toward a peace that transcends all understanding. This peace is not the peace of this world, but it is a peace that comes when we surrender our pride, our fears, and our pain at His feet.
Even amidst conflict, your soldiers are tuning into our radio station, worshipping, proclaiming the name of Jesus, and demonstrating their faith. If those who serve you show such faith, why do their leaders continue bloodshed when there could be peace, a peace of the Holy Spirit?
Jesus said, “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.” (Matthew 5:9) We are all His children, called to be vessels of peace. In Christ, there is no division, only unity as brothers and sisters under His Lordship.
This is not an easy path, but it is the one that leads to freedom, not freedom defined by earthly power, but the freedom of living as children of God.
May the Holy Spirit guide you, illuminate your path, and bring you to a peace that transcends all understanding. We stand with you in prayer and faith, believing that God’s love can overcome all things.
With love in Christ,
James Hughes
