Bishop Marvin Winans is under fire after a viral video showed him publicly calling out a woman and her young son during a recent fundraiser.
Full story below…
The clip, which has circulated widely across social media, captures the pastor chastising the churchgoer for donating $1,235 instead of the $2,000 he had requested during the congregation’s “Day of Giving” service.
His tone has sparked intense backlash online, with many accusing the bishop of embarrassing a member for her generosity instead of showing gratitude, given the current state of the economy being in shambles for some

Bishop Winans has not publicly addressed the controversy, though supporters believe he may speak on it in an upcoming sermon.
That was absolutely trash 🗑 they wonder why young folk don’t go to church anymore this 1 of the reasons why. Bunch of scammin a** 🥷’s!
Some church folks have been conditioned to love and respect that type of treatment. Pastors been disrespecting them to their faces for decades. But things are changing cause most ain’t going for it these days and they definitely not lining up to give no church a couple of g’s. Pastors like this are treading on thin ice. Black Churches are emptying out.

That guy is no man of God. He needs to get audited and get locked up in jail. No one should be worshipping or listening to his trash ass. He and anyone associated with him should be ashamed with his broke ass with no respect for the community.
