I went to remove the toilet, removed some insulation and about 500 envelopes fell off the wall. I said “Wow”. “I took my lamp to see,” the plumber told a local radio.

Lakewood Church said in a statement that an undisclosed amount of cash and checks was recently found during repair work. The foundation did not comment on whether the amount could be linked to the $600,000 missing.
