The highlight was the moment a woman, alongside her son, came forward with a contribution of $1,235 (Approximately N1.8m) instead of $2,000, (Approximately N2.9m) saying,
“I’m giving in faith and standing in unity with the vision of Perfecting Church, sowing this seed of $1,000 plus $235 and receiving the blessings to come.”
Winans, however, swiftly corrected her, stating, “That’s only $1,200.” When she acknowledged that she had fallen short of the full donation, the pastor continued, “You’re not listening to what I’m saying. If you have $1,000 plus $1,000…”
