Joel and Victoria Osteen of Lakewood Church have put together Our Circle of Hope Ministry to help support and encourage families and children with special needs.
Anyone interested can volunteer in this ministry. Lakewood Church is asking people who want to make "a lasting difference in the life of a child and their family".
Lakewood Church is a Christian megachurch headquartered in Houston, TX. The church is the biggest congregation in America with approximately 43,500 attendees every week.
Joel Osteen is the senior pastor of the church while his wife Victoria serves as co-pastor.
Lakewood Church states, "Our Circle of Hope Ministry is a place where families and children with special needs or medical conditions can find support and encouragement through respite, special events and mentorship. Many of the leaders of this ministry are parents of special needs children and know personally the unique challenges these families face. It is our desire to do what Galatians 6:2 tells us and help bear one another's burdens and show the love of God to these families and children."
The main focus of Our Circle of Hope Ministry is children in crisis, as well as terminal or medically fragile people.
