The incident involved Roberta McCoy, who offered $1,000 plus an additional $235, totaling $1,200.

Winans immediately addressed the discrepancy.

“Well, that ain’t what I asked you to do,” he said, pointing out that the intended offering was $2,000, or “$1,000 plus $1,000.” When McCoy responded that she would work on providing the remaining $800, Winans reiterated his disappointment with her initial donation.

The video captures the moment as Winans emphasized the importance of meeting the requested offering. “The request was for $1,000 plus $1,000,” he told the congregation, highlighting that expectations for contributions were clear from the start.

The interaction has since circulated online, prompting discussions about fundraising practices and the way church leaders communicate donation expectations.

Some viewers defended Winans’ insistence on following the requested offering, while others felt the rebuke was unnecessarily harsh.
