Minimalism Theme

[Timbow]

I just checked. If you successfully changed the page template to homepage.php you will see the three columns but without the paragraph text, just heading and image. The First column paragraph text is taken from a page with the 'slug' first. If you title the page First and save it then GS will give it the 'slug' (filename) first but you can check that and correct it in Page Options.

Don't know what more to say. Presume you are saving and reloading/ refreshing ? You have written some text in your new page First ?
