Pastor Hyeon Soo Lim was recently released from North Korea. He was able to speak to his church in Toronto and it was a delight to see that even a very liberal paper like the Toronto Star printed them. “There were many difficult moments but it was during these times that God gave me the strength endure and persevere.
