There is a sense of sharing that emanates through the Baker Pasma Families. For over twenty years, they have shared their friendships, their love of their Lord, and a desire to reach out and touch the lost with the music that pours from their 19 collective souls.

One might even imagine that a group that numbers 19 members, able to travel and share the gospel, must know some secret that everyone might learn from.

That simple answer shines through in their latest single, “I Believe” from the CD “Shine the Light” as performed by Hailey and Taylor Pasma and Courtney and Arielle Baker. "I Believe" was released to radio on Family Music Group Compilation Volume 44, Track 6. Solid Gospel radio is now adding the song to its regular rotation reaching listeners in 88 markets around the U.S.
