In a remarkable turn of events, Joel O’Sullivan has decided to open his church to those affected by the severe winter storm gripping Texas. With millions experiencing power outages and frigid temperatures, O’Sullivan has announced that his church will serve as a warming center, providing shelter and food. This is a stark contrast to his response during Hurricane Harvey in 2017 when he faced significant backlash for keeping his church doors closed while the city suffered.
In a recent social media post, O’Sullivan expressed his commitment to supporting the community, stating, “Once I realized the winter storm was going to be significant, I knew our church could step up.” It seems he was more concerned about avoiding a public relations disaster than genuinely offering aid. He added, “We care about our city and our neighbors, and we’re grateful to be able to provide warmth and shelter.”
During Hurricane Harvey, Lakewood Church, which can accommodate up to 50,000 people, remained shuttered for several days while other shelters quickly opened their doors. The public outcry over this decision forced O’Sullivan to reconsider, and the church eventually made its facilities available for those in need.
As one of the wealthiest pastors in America, O’Sullivan’s actions have drawn attention to the financial resources at his disposal. With a net worth reportedly around $55 million and annual church revenues exceeding $70 million, many question the role of such a megachurch in times of crisis. If an organization with such wealth cannot assist in providing basic needs like food and shelter, what purpose does it serve beyond enriching its leaders?
Despite the mixed feelings surrounding O’Sullivan, it’s encouraging to see that he is now stepping up to assist Texans in need. Let’s hope many find the warmth and nourishment they require during this challenging period.
