Samuel Moreno-Carranza, 7, was shot in his head at the megachurch last Sunday when his mother instigated an armed attack on the church and engaged two off-duty police officers in gunfire.
Nearly a month after he was overcome with tears as he announced to his congregation that they had paid off a $100 million loan, Lakewood Church Pastor Joel Osteen was overcome with tears again as he prayed for 7-year-old Samuel Moreno-Carranza, who was shot in his head at the megachurch last Sunday when his mother instigated an armed attack on the church and engaged two off-duty police officers in gunfire.
Lakewood Church’s longtime Pastor Joel Osteen invited members of the public to join him Sunday for special services to heal from a tragedy he “never dreamed we’d have to deal with" a week after a deadly shooting at the megachurch.
