TikTok user Nikalie is testing churches across denominations in her “Testing Your Church” series, asking one question: Would your church help a starving baby?
In a recent video, she called Lakewood Church in Houston, following requests from viewers to try a “mega church.” She also included a crying baby sound in the background to make the scenario feel more realistic.
During the call, Nikalie asked if the church could provide formula for a two-month-old baby who had gone a day without food. A staff member responded that the church has a benevolence ministry and could take down her information and process a request. However, she was told there is no estimated time for approval, which could take days or even weeks.
Nikalie reacted to the response, noting that seeing and hearing the baby made the situation feel urgent, and expressed frustration with the slow process, especially given the size of the church.
