His Presence is Alive
Greetings from Jacqueline Loh
Grace that Reigns came from my own witness of God's presence ALIVE in this world through the healings that I have seen as a result of God's Mercy and Compassion. God's incredible Grace Reigns and ( Rains ) down on us. Juliana, my sister and I sat down one day and gave it it's name. This ministry of Grace and healing has been a part of me for most of my life and I am grateful to be able to share it with you.
But.... they say that it takes a village to raise a child. In this case, it has taken many faith filled family members and generous friends to grow this ministry.
If not for the many gifted people who offered prayers, talents and financial assistance to help Grace that Reigns become a reality, we would not be here. I have so much gratitude to the many who have helped our ministry to grow. Grace that Reigns belongs to everyone.God works in Mysterious Ways.

Our Reason for Waking Up each day is to Wonder
Forward from Bishop Ronald Gilmore
We wonder what this new day, and the Spirit of God, will bring us: how he will approach us, how he will surprise us, how he will challenge us.
What is Wonder? Wonder is MORE. Wonder is Awe!
We have allowed routine and custom and habit to take over our lives. … go to the same school, to the same work, to the same civic activities, to the same organized recreation, and in time, we become numbed by our mundane tasks. Our routines begin to take over our lives and all of sudden, we have allowed schedule to rule our day and us, right up to allowing the tasks of the day to consume us. So then we ask …
Is there no more to life than this?
This is the Look of Wonder in the eyes of my friend’s 2 year old son, Diego, as he rides the gondola up the Mountain. He is lost in “ awe. “ He is " lost in wonder.”
Wonder Begins in "Shock."There you are one day doing the everyday things of life, when, all of a sudden, something happens to jolt you momentarily. Imagine yourself fishing on the dock on a drowsy afternoon, absent-mindedly separating your catch into different buckets, half-dozing, until suddenly, .... you reach down and you grab an electric eel ! What happens next?
Shock happens ! You are suddently transported out of yourself.
When shock happens in your life, the things you have always taken for granted as the only things of your life suddenly fade and vanish before your eyes. You become aware of the More hidden in your humdrum lives, in your ordinary pursuits, in your customary schools, in your regular work.
“Shock” does this for us: we see, if only for a moment, the More in all creation. We see the Mystery of it all. This is the " Suprise " that we want to capture. This is Wonder.
