A new movement called the Global Peace Initiative is being launched in America on tomorrow, August 9th on the West Lawn of the U.S. Capitol Building. It is a movement that is destined to be loved by Americans because it affirms values close to the heart of the American people: faith in God, compassion for all, and family as the basis for love and peace.
It is movement that reminds me of what happened in America at the Lincoln Memorial, 45 years ago when Dr. King made a statement that changed the course of history. “I have a dream that is deeply rooted in the American dream, I have a dream that one day America will live out the full meaning of its creed. We hold these truths to be self evident that all men are created equal.”

The Global Peace Festival (GPF) is a worldwide celebration of faith, family, and service, gathering people from different races, religions, and national origins as "One Family under God." This Saturday afternoon, August 9th at 5pm, thousands will gather to celebrate GPF USA at the US Capitol in Washington, DC.
Over the past three months, GPF has been partnering with faith-based organizations, non-profits, youth groups, and others in the Washington Metro area and around the country. Hundreds of service projects, prayer breakfasts, interfaith dialogues, sports competitions and other initiatives both small and large have been held.
