Lakewood Church’s Unique Ministry…
Lakewood Church and its pastor Joel Osteen have received a lot of negative press in recent years. They’ve been accused of being too big, impersonal and even watering down the gospel. I came across this story of what Joel’s mother, Dodie Osteen is doing outside the four walls of Lakewood Church. I find it difficult to understand how anyone’s heart could find fault with her or this outreach. I was personally moved. Watch the video for yourself below…
On a recent overcast winter morning in front of the building, a new program was launched. It’s a drive through healing service led by Dodie Osteen, who says she received a message she couldn’t ignore.
“He just said in my heart, why don’t you have a drive by healing service? And it’s the first one I’ve ever had. I didn’t know what would happen, but if one person comes that doesn’t matter. I’m doing what God told me to do.”-Dodie Osteen.
