Lying Pastor
Kevin Mathews, a pastor who was not even affiliated with Pleasant Hill Missionary Baptist Church, began getting involved with Ms. Holmes and the rest of her family. The pastor claimed that “God led him to them” even though they had no idea who he was before they won the lottery. The family believed him and invited him into their home for ministerial services. He was even going to help McDow make better life decisions.

Pastor Mathews began feeling really comfortable. He even had the nerve to ask Holmes for one and a half million dollars so that he can build a retreat. Although the agreement was never put in writing, Pastor Mathews says that Holmes verbally agreed to give her the money. Instead of waiting for the money, the pastor built the retreat with his own money.
