Senior Pastor of Lakewood Church, Joel Osteen On Monday faced criticism on Twitter for allegedly closing his doors to victims of Hurricane Harvey.
The church, located in Houston which has been hit by the hurricane, had announced cancellation on its services for Saturday & Sunday, August 26 & 27 respectively sued to the weather impact of the storm.
In a statement by Joel, the church said it has “never closed” its doors to victims and will continue to be a distribution centre for those in need, adding that it is prepared to house people once shelters reach capacity.
The church has also partnered with a disaster relief organisation Samaritan’s Purse to help victims.
