As they work in a commercial kitchen and sell their delicious treats at local markets and pop-ups, they share the light of Christ.

Hear her story, and meet some of the Cakeable students in part 3 of this “More Than Our Abilities” series from GPS: God. People. Stories. You can connect with us through email at gps@billygraham.org or on Billy Graham Radio on Facebook.
