Car mart owner Homar Gayle has been campaigning against claims that he resembles the deceased cult leader Kevin Smith. Knowing the stir of emotions the revelations of the Pathways International Church and a man recently being killed in St. Thomas, in a case of mistaken identity, has caused Gayle to fear for his life so he is ready to let the public know that he is not Kevin Smith.

After three days he will rise again, following his death on Monday, October 25 social media users made fun of the bizarre expectation of some devout members of the Pathways International cult leader Dr. Kevin Smith, that he would resurrect on Thursday, October 28. Imagine the shock of some when they encountered, this man Homar Gayle, who is now living in fear, as a vast majority somehow, says he is the late pastor.

Gayle, who is a car mart owner, candidly shared that on his way to speak to CVM Live, a group of people eerily rushed his way, enquiring if he was the pastor. He took similar comments in stride early in the week but started to worry for his safety as time went on, as he has been approached menacingly by some, which has forced him to seek protection.

Gayle does not condone the actions of Smith and wants to remove himself from the reputation of the former church leader. Even so, Gayle admits that he sees how he bears some resemblance to Smith. On the other hand, Gayle says he has been losing business since the mix-up and hopes to turn things around soon.
