Summary: Francisco Rodriguez used to have to leave his family to find work in a nearby town. He took any work he could find, usually construction. “Sometimes he would just work and make enough money for the day so it was really, really a difficult life,” says his wife, Carmen Arriaga. Lack of income wasn’t the only difficulty for this family of eight that was struggling to survive in Honduras’s Yamaranguila region. When Francisco wasn’t working, he often stayed in town drinking. Carmen says she and her daughters never knew what was going to happen when he came home drunk. World Vision invited Francisco to participate in agricultural training. Francisco had land, but it lay fallow because Francisco traveled so often to La Esperanza for work. Soon he was equipped to grow crops on his land, and he embraced the opportunity to support his family without traveling to the city with all its temptations. As Francisco participated in World Vision’s work in his community, he says he began to see how faith in Christ motivated the staff. As a result, Francisco’s own faith began to grow. In April 2012, World Vision introduced Channels of Hope in Yamaranguila. Channels of Hope is a multi-faceted program that encourages Christians to understand their role as followers of Christ to combat deeply held cultural beliefs that negatively impact their communities, such as HIV and AIDS stigma and gender inequality. As Francisco attended the Channels of Hope training, he became more open to Carmen’s participation. “Now there is no longer any chauvinism,” he says. “It’s the church that has changed us and shown us that men and woman are worth exactly the same in the eyes of the Lord and that we have exactly the same rights.” Carmen has blossomed and grown more confident. “It’s been a transformation that is incredible, and every day I thank God because this has totally changed every step I take,” say
