David Howell is the youngest original member of The Howell Family. He has played drums for several years, but has recently joined the group to minister in song. Although he misses drumming, he has stepped forward to sing, as he is reminded of one of his favorite quotes, ” Obedience is the highest form of worship.” He lives in West Plains with his wife, Rhonda, and their two children, Chloe and Dawson. David also plays other instruments including the bass, acoustic guitar and some banjo. He was saved at age 10 and has a sincere passion for the Lord. He and Rhonda attend church at an Assembly of God close to their hometown of West Plains, Missouri. His hobbies include acting in Christian dramas, golfing, reading and spending time with his wife and children.
