To our understanding, during the horrific incident that visited beautiful people of Houston, while the hotel opposite Joel Osteen was opening their doors to victims of Hurricane Harvey, Joel Osteen closed the doors to his enormous Lakewood Church in Houston to people seeking shelter in the wake of Hurricane Harvey with the claims the roads was not accessible, he offered his prayers to people and not shelter.
Although he later open his doors Tuesday following black lash from the media and critics calling him out on how little he is willing to practice what he is preaching. We can say that he still got one fan and a true friend in Tyler Perry who came to his defends. ” Joel Osteen and wife are amazing people and needs a break,” donating to Harvey Hurricane’s victims, requested that $ 250,000 goes to Joel Osteen Church for the controversy he is facing. “There is no way they would lock people out of the church and not let people in for shelter” (even though that’s apparently what they did). Perry went on to say that he trusts Osteen to use the money to get supplies for the people who need it, “because that’s the kind of person he is.”
