http://www.rawstory.com/2017/08/prosperity-gospel-preacher-joel-osteen-to-open-megachurch-to-hurricane-harvey-refugees-after-public-shaming/
According to Crooks and Liars, Joel Osteen is singing a new tune after being blasted online for not allowing people into his church in the midst of Hurricane Harvey. He is now reportedly preparing to open the doors of his Lakewood Megachurch in Houston to people seeking refuge from the storm.
LGBTQ activist Charles Clymer posted an image of air mattresses in the Lakewood church, along with a caption that said the church is prepping to open their doors.

It's really an ideal place in many ways. Large areas where people can rest and plenty of rest rooms. I haven't been there since the conversion to a church, but they may even have some food service facilities.
