SERVICES RESUMED ON SUNDAY AT CELEBRITY PASTOR JOEL OSTEEN’S LAKEWOOD MEGACHURCH IN HOUSTON — A WEEK AFTER A WOMAN OPENED FIRE.
OSTEEN WELCOMED COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND CITY LEADERS INCLUDING HOUSTON’S MAYOR FOR HEALING.
JOEL OSTEEN: “You know, it’s something that we never dreamed we’d have to deal with. This is our home. You know, somebody to come in and you kind of feel violated. But again, I’ll go back to God’s on the throne. And yeah, I can’t tell you all the details, but I can tell you this. There are so many there are so many things you can just see the hand of God.“
ON FEBRUARY 11TH, A WOMAN WALKED INTO THE CHURCH WITH HER 7-YEAR-OLD SON AND STARTED SHOOTING.
THE WOMAN WAS KILLED DURING AN EXCHANGE OF GUNFIRE WITH OFF-DUTY POLICE OFFICERS WORKING SECURITY AT THE CHURCH.
HER 7-YEAR-OLD SON WAS STRUCK IN THE HEAD AND REMAINS IN CRITICAL CONDITION.
DURING THIS SUNDAY’S SERVICES — OSTEEN PRAYED FOR THE BOYS RECOVERY.
