Pastor Lim in Toronto after release from Pyongyang prison

Toronto pastor Hyeon Soo Lim of the Light Korean Presbyterian Church in Toronto was reunited with his family at Pearson airport Sunday after two years in detention in North Korea. The release came after diplomatic negotiation details of which are not known. “We are proud to be Canadians. One of the things my father shared is that as a Canadian going to North Korea for him was to be able to share the blessing of Canada to those in North Korea,” the pastor’s son said. “To know that Canada has stood for him, stood by him — we are so grateful.”
