Osteen on summer event in New York City: 'It will be an exciting time for us to be together again'

Joel Osteen Ministries said that Lakewood Church pastors Joel and Victoria Osteen will head to New York City later this summer to host their "Come Home to Hope" event, a press release said.

According to the release, "Come Home to Hope" will be held at Yankee Stadium in The Bronx on Aug. 6 at 7 p.m.

In what the Osteens describe in the release as "an evening of inspiration," "Come Home to Hope" will be the pastors' first large-scale public gathering outside of Houston in more than three years.

"Victoria and I are looking forward to bringing this evening of inspiration back to Yankee Stadium and the amazing people of New York," Joel Osteen said, according to the release. "It will be an exciting time for us to be together again. I believe now, more than ever, is the time for us to shine, to be a voice of peace and hope, and draw closer to God."

Among the confirmed guests for the event are musicians Cece Winans and Tauren Wells, per the release.

It'll be the third time the Osteens hold services at Yankee Stadium, which opened in 2009 as the successor to its first incarnation and is capable of seating at least 40,000 people.

The previous years Yankee Stadium hosted the Osteens were 2014 and 2009, according to the release.

Tickets for "Come Home to Hope" can be purchased at yankees.com, joelosteen.com and ticketmaster.com, the release said.
