Gospel Singer Reveals He was Molested, Calls on the Church to Be Better at Helping Victims Find Healing

February 19, 2021 by Staff

(Christian Headlines) Kelontae Gavin, a chart-topping gospel singer who is known for his singles “No Ordinary Worship” and “Hold Me Close” revealed he was molested by his cousin for years. This molestation, he said, caused him to be gay but he purposely suppressed his actions because he had the gift of singing. He now decries such a response and wished he came clean years ago so he could have received the help he needed.

“It’s scary to be gifted in the Church because sometimes your gift can cloud and block the thing that God really requires of you most, and that’s your heart,” he told The Christian Post.
