In spring 2014, Osteen tweeted appearing to reference the crime: "Trust is saying, 'God I'm not going to let this upset me.
The church said the funds were fully insured, and officials were working with an insurance company to restore the money. The megachurch's celebrity pastor, Osteen, later announced news of the burglary to his massive congregation that draws tens of thousands of people. A Houston Chronicle report from that time say a church employee was the first to discover the missing money. In March 2014, officials with the Houston Police Department said $200,000 in cash and $400,000 in checks, as well as written credit card information, was stolen from the church's safe. Burglary and theft officers with the police department documented the undisclosed amount and left the funds with Lakewood Church since it was discovered on the premises, authorities said. Neither the church nor authorities said how much money was recovered.
