What do you need to say yes to today? When you get in agreement with God, there’s no limit to what He can do in your life!

Victoria Osteen
Victoria Osteen has always had a passion
and energy for life that is contagious.
A lifelong Houstonian, Victoria Osteen began her career as a young woman
working in her family’s jewelry business; however, the seeds of ministry were
planted in her very early on. As she was growing up, both of her parents were
involved in their local church, setting a powerful example for Victoria and her
older brother, Don.
"A lot of times we see choices in
front of us, and we limit ourselves by what we see. God wants us to see His way
of doing things. And His way is always greater than our ways."
- VICTORIA

Her mother taught Sunday school, and her
father was a deacon. As a little girl, Victoria would serve alongside her
father, greeting parishioners and helping with the offering. She enjoyed
learning about the inner workings of ministry, having no idea at the time that
it was her life’s calling.
Many years later, when Victoria met and married Joel,
they would regularly accompany Joel’s father on mission trips to India and
around the world, reaching out and serving in some of the most impoverished areas
of the globe.
"Don’t live in regret. Don’t let lost
opportunities make you feel disappointed and discouraged. God is bigger than
your lost opportunities. He can still get you where you need to go in
life."
- VICTORIA

Her compassion and passion for ministry grew during
these years as she faithfully served in many capacities. Now as co-pastor,
Victoria is an integral part of each church service and the Night of Hope
worship events across the U.S. and abroad.
As a wife and mother of two, Victoria is
an inspiration and example to women everywhere who are balancing
responsibilities both inside and outside the home. She is committed to
empowering women, children, and families to connect and grow strong with a
foundation of faith in Jesus Christ. This commitment and passion led her to
begin the Women’s Ministry at Lakewood Church, which equips women at every age
and every stage in life – at home, in relationships, and in the workplace.
"Be prepared, because God is ready
to fulfill the dreams and desires He’s placed within your heart. He loves to
restore opportunities that once seemed lost forever. And sometimes He brings
those opportunities back in ways we haven’t considered or weren’t looking for.
It may not always be the way we thought, but if you’ll stay open, God will
bless you beyond your wildest dreams."
- VICTORIA OSTEEN
In 2008, Victoria wrote her first book,
Love Your Life, which reached #2 on The New York Times Best Sellers list just
two weeks after its October debut, and it was the largest printing by any
publisher that year. Victoria is also a children’s author, releasing the My
Happy Heart box set, Unexpected Treasures, and Gifts from the Heart, which are
uplifting Christian children’s books that serve as a resource for parents who
desire to raise their children in the knowledge of God’s goodness.
In 2010, Victoria’s deep love for reading and families
came together when she founded the Victoria Osteen Child Literacy Program to
help get books into the hands of children and break the cycle of illiteracy in
the home.
"The closest thing to the heart of God is people.
If we learn to give our best to those who need our time and attention, God will
see to it that we get His best in return."

She is also a faithful supporter of community
organizations and the Greater Southwest Houston Chamber of Commerce honored
her with a Community Impact Award because of her contributions locally.
Every week, Victoria hosts a live call-in radio show
on Joel Osteen Radio, SiriusXM Channel 128. Her practical, down-to-earth wisdom
and personal approach appeal to a wide range of listeners from all walks of
life around the world.
"As you keep your mind and heart focused in the
right direction, approaching each day with faith and gratitude, I believe you
will be empowered to live life to the fullest and enjoy the abundant life He
has promised you!"
- VICTORIA OSTEEN
Joel and Victoria have two children, Jonathan and Alexandra,
who both serve in the ministry with them.
