Please read about her beautiful life of mission below:

She was born on December 24th 1945 as the sixth child of Vincente and Carmela Acohido, on the Island of Oahu in the town Wahiawa. Her parents were devout Catholics and raised her and her siblings with the belief of a loving God and faith in his son Jesus Christ.

Hawaii is a very diverse state and she had stories of visiting other churches with her friends and being able to share a feeling of reverence and respect of other faiths and viewpoints.

She left Hawaii at 17 with her mother to enter college in San Francisco, California. She joined the Unification Church in her fourth year, in early 1968.

Between 1971-72 she joined Farley Jones mobile team and traveled the united states with brothers and sisters.

In 1975 she was sent to her first mission country Uruguay and in 1978 was sent to Peru and later became a national leader. In 1980 she was matched to Victor Lim and a year later opened a school in Peru. In 1982 her and victor Lim were blessed in Madison Square Garden.

1984 Victor joined her in Peru, there were there together until 1990 after they had their daughter, Unhae.

January 1992, they all went as a family to visit their families in Hawaii and Malaysia. She stayed in Hawaii to take care of her sister in law Dagi from February to March.

From 1993 her mission became Russia, her and her daughter joined her husband in the summer. In December 1993 they bought a flat in Chime, Kent with her daughter while her husband was in Moscow. In september 1994 they moved to Khabarovsk,.

She went back to New York in December 1996 where she met with the Landreth family and then while her husband went to Korea she went to Hawaii to be with her family and be there for her mother. In June 1995 they left Unhae with victor’s sister while they attended a 40 workshop in Cheong Pyeong. She went back to New York after the workshop to prepare IRRFF project for Khabarovsk. In September, she went for 8 days back to Peru for True Mother’s tour.

From January 1997 till January 1998, her and her daughter went back to Hawaii to take care of her mother and also blessed 185 couples on the island. In February 1998, they returned to New York and then joined her husband in England for 21 days, then was given the new mission of the Comoros Islands, and it was decided she would be the one to start that mission.

From February 1998 the family moved to the UK.

On Saturday 20th December, Carmela Lim - a much-loved mother, wife, sister, aunty and friend - passed peacefully to the Spirit World.

Carmela lived with significant health challenges for many years, yet her strength, determination and love of life never faded. Even just weeks before her hospital admission, she was still out and about, running errands and attending appointments independently - a true testament to her resilience and spirit.

Family and faith were at the very heart of Carmela’s life. Those fortunate enough to know her will remember her boundless generosity, deep compassion, and genuine kindness. She had a heart of gold and a wonderful sense of humour that brought warmth and light to those around her.

Carmela leaves behind her devoted daughter, Noelani Unhae. Her beloved husband, Victor, passed away in 2011. Unhae was a dedicated carer to her mum for many years and is now facing the emotional and financial burden of arranging her Mum’s funeral. At the same time, her housing situation is uncertain, as the family relied on council accommodation.
