Pastor Joel Osteen opened the doors of his Lakewood church in Houston, Texas, after being involved in a controversy for allegedly failing to offer refuge to Hurricane Harvey victims.
The announcement of the opening of the evangelical institution led by Joel Osteen was made on August 29 via Twitter. “Victoria and I care deeply about our fellow Houstonians. The doors of Lakewood are open and we are welcoming anyone who needs shelter, said the pastor on social media.
Donald Iloff, a church spokesman, told CNN that hundreds of people had arrived on Monday. However, the note explains that that same day, the church had published through networks that the compound was inaccessible due to the severe flooding caused by Hurricane Harvey.
The church showed photos to the news channel where they showed water in the hallways and the parking lot. How big is the church? The great building was formerly the stadium where the NBA basketball team, Houston Rockets, played.
Iloff assured CNN that the church's concern was that when floods occur, the facilities fill up with water quickly. On the other hand, the representative of the church of Osteen, did not give importance to the criticism that they received through social networks.
Osteen and his church were involved in a controversy on social media for allegedly not having offered their facilities for the victims of the devastating Hurricane Harvey. Currently, Lakewood Church in Houston, Texas is open to anyone in need of shelter.
