Concluding remarks

In January 2015, like a bird caught in flight and locked in a cage, Pastor Hyunsu Lim (senior pastor and missionary at the Great Light Church in Canada) was deprived of his freedom in a North Korean prison.
During the 949 days he was imprisoned in North Korea, he had no one but the Lord.
Although he was sentenced to death and ordered to spend the rest of his life in prison, he believed that God would deliver him in His own time and in His own sovereign way.
And on August 9, 2017, God delivered him with absolute sovereignty.
He wrote this book to testify to God's living presence in times of suffering and to share his vision and ministry for the future.
