A small team travelled to Cuba this week to assess the damage to a local evangelical church. In January, a full construction team of volunteers will go there to rebuild the delapidated church building.

The team has spent the last few days visiting the poor, the sick, and the elderly.
While there, they met a woman who has spent the past three months living in a 10 X 10 ft shack. This space, no bigger than a garden shed, includes her kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom. On Saturday, the woman was able to get some electrical wire run to her make-shift home.
But... The woman in the shack had a light socket... but no light bulb.
The team found a spare light bulb at the mission house they are at, and delivered light to the woman's home. "High five's all around," as they celebrated one light bulb.
How much will one small act of delivering a simple light bulb--something we take for granted--change this woman's life?
Remember that old Sunday School song? This little light of mine... I'm gonna' let it shine!
