Our Story
A journey of faith, friendship, and grace — from a humble beginning in Vancouver to a ministry touching hearts across North America.
Grace that Reigns Ministry
In 2008, after years of private ministry at Called and Gifted in Seattle, Jacqueline Loh founded and established Grace That Reigns Society in Vancouver, Canada. In 2012, she invited then-recently retired Bishop Ronald Gilmore, from the Diocese of Dodge City, Kansas, to partner with her. Together, they traveled for much of the next two years offering missions and retreats, mostly in Canada.
In 2014, another satellite office in the U.S. was opened up. Since then, Bishop Gilmore and Jacqueline Loh have been invited to speak at parishes and offer a day of recollection to priests across rural and urban dioceses.
This ministry has touched lives in profound and even miraculous ways, revealing the healing power of wonder and allowing God to renew hearts, restore hope, and draw people closer to Him.
