Grace that Reigns is a unique ministry that shows us the way to Jesus and increases our sense of wonder for what God does for us each and every day

Call to Action

Our first encounter with Jesus is an important and never-forgotten moment. As we continue on our jour-ney, the challenges of daily living can numb that experience.

We try to bring light in the form of Grace into darkness through God’s healing presence. We help people to learn new ways of renewing their own sense of wonder and of growing in their own personal relationship with God through prayer.

Parishioners will leave our mission challenged to reflect on and identify I will lead the blind on their some of their own every day personal journey by paths unknown barriers that rob them of the abundance of grace that God has for each and every Isaiah 42:16 one.

GRACETHAT REIGNS I Renewing Your Sense of Wonder RECOMMENDATION LETTER OF SUPPORT:

7 April, 2015

To Whom it May Concern,

I am pleased to write a letter of confidence for the ministry of Grace that Reigns.

Our Parish, Prince of Peace hosted two short retreats put on by Grace That Reigns, a Friday evening and Saturday in November, 2014 and a follow up day in late March, 2015.

Both retreats featured Jacqueline Loh and Bishop Ronald Gilmore. I admit that I was a bit skeptical about the retreats because both happened at very busy times of the year, around Thanksgiving and right before Holy Week. Who had the time?

However, the people who attended either or both retreats, including myself, found them spiritually enriching, prayerful, educational, and just what was needed during those busy times. We were given a bit of time to stop and focus on the Lord and his presence in our lives. People experienced healing, especially through Jacqueline’s prayer for them. At the first retreat one lady experienced physical healing of a very painful condition that she had suffered with and gave a very powerful testimony at the day in March. I myself experienced spiritual healing in November.

The Lord Jesus touched me in a very powerful and unexpected way and He assured me of his immense love for me and that He was not so interested in what I can or cannot do but that He wanted me to be closer to him and that He knew all about my situations and the situations in the parish and that He was in the midst of them. I received exactly what I needed at both retreats.

I would highly recommend Grace That Reigns for any parish looking for divine healing, education and a deeper understanding of prayer.

In Christ,

Fr. Donald Bedore , Prince of Peace Parish Great Bend, KS RECOMMENDATION LETTER OF SUPPORT:

Dear Pastor,

I invited Grace that Reigns Ministry to offer a Retreat at my parish during Lent 2015.

As pastor, I was delighted with the depth of the content and serious attempt to minister individually to the participants through prayer. I particularly appreciated the Winter Grace conference and the level of personal testimony of each of the presenters. Through the retreat, I was impressed with the collaborative spirit of Bishop Ronald Gilmore and Jacqueline Loh and their complementary presences.

I invited Grace that Reigns again to give the follow up Workshop in 2016. The Retreat Workshop day was a peaceful joy for those who attended and was a great balance of reflections upon Ignatian spirituality and the practice of intercessory prayer.

Those who attended the workshop were spiritually fed and individually received a ministry of healing. The unlikely team of Bishop Emeritus Ronald Gilmore and the lay healer, Jacqueline Loh, have developed a complementary and effective method of healing of words and healing of presence and touch.

There assuredly was a spiritual presence and spiritual healing for the whole parish beyond the participants, but most profoundly for the those who chose to draw close to Christ. With an hour of Eucharistic adoration, it sealed the deal.

I believe that Bishop Gilmore and Jacqueline Loh have a powerful ministry to offer to any parish and any individual, especially those deeply ingrained in the Catholic Tradition. I would recommend inviting Grace that Reigns for your Parish retreat.

In Christ,

Your Excellency:

The Grace that Reigns Society, USA has been working in our Diocese for a year now, and I know it to be an effective instrumentfor evangelization.

Ms. Jacqueline Loh founded this renewal movement in Vancouver in 2008. She was joined in 2012 by our own Bishop Emeritus, Ronald M. Gilmore. They have been sensitive to the needs of this Diocese, and to my own perception of where the Lord wants me to lead it. Bending their own work to our deepest priorities, they have been the Co-Workers described in St. Paul's letters. They have been collaborators, one in mind and one in heart with me.

I have been pleased with their effort in this Diocese and I welcome their continuing work among us.

Sincerely yours,
