Joel Osteen Responds To Backlash And Finally Opens His Megachurch Doors For Houston’s Hurricane Refugees

Megachurch Pastor Joel Osteen is feverishly trying to save face after he was blasted for closing his church doors to thousands of people in need of hurricane relief in Houston. Lakewood Church, which houses almost 17,000 people, has initially posted a statement saying that their doors would be closed because of severe flooding in the area. Well with the help of social media, it was revealed that the flooding wasn’t severe enough to block out thousands in need of help and now Osteen is saying his doors are open for them.
Victoria and I care deeply about our fellow Houstonians. Lakewood’s doors are open and we are receiving anyone who needs shelter.
