- Dempsey Howard
Dempsey C. Howard is the son of an
evangelist pastor in EasternNorth Carolina . Literally growing up under thepew s of his father's church, his life has been centered around the church.His teen years found him on the road with various local singing groups in North Carolina. At the end of his senior year in High School he left for Nashville, TN to join his brother in ministry as they traveled in the continental United States and Canada. While with the Bobby Howard Singers they were doing concerts, crusades, and were regulars on nationally known religious television networks . He has worked with various groups in the gospel music field many of which were Dove award , and gold record winners such as Jerry & The Goffs, The Sego Brothers & Naomi, and more.
A short hiatus from the "religious" scene opened his eyes to things surrounding him. Walking into a small local church in Nashville one night, the pastor recognized him with a call on his life. Not long after he began to sing again and offer ministry in the church to the youth.
In answering the call of God, there has been a learning and commitment process to go through. An event transpired in his life in late 1996 that nearly ended his ministry, and his life. Today he stands proud to be fulfilling the call and doing what God has set him aside to do, as he is Walking in Testimony!
