We are concerned about family...
What we do...
Being a couple or a family is an amazing gift of God but also an extraordinarily complex reality. Nowadays families are under great pressure and they are very fragile. Even believers are finding difficulties within their families. It is becoming more and more important to develop programs to support and strengthen families and to prepare young people for marriage and home building.
Who we are...
"Insieme" offers a ministry for couples and families among evangelical churches. The association has developed out of the vision of Jean-Claude and Licia Saillen. The vision materialized and has grown out of their own experience as a couple with three sons, as well as specific training and experience gained from several years of practical counseling and of teaching seminars in various churches all over Italy.
This ministry has developed with the help of other couples who share the same goals working in obedience to the word of God and with confidence in the healing power of the Holy Spirit. They would appreciate collaborating with other ministries which have the same objectives.
Our training:
Jean-Claude and Licia Saillen, parents and grandparents, married since 1980, parents of 3 adult children, grandparents (7 grandchildren).
Licia ( from southern Italy) is a psycho-pedagogist, family mediator and marriage counselor. She also has biblical and theological training.
Jean-Claude (of Swiss and Italian origin) has biblical training and pastoral experience. He has trained over the years in Christian counseling and has also completed a training course in family counseling.
ACTIVITIES PROVIDED :
NEW: "Albero della Vita" project
We've started a new local project in our town, Fucecchio (23'000 inhabitants) and nearby Sovigliana. We offer support for kids who have academic difficulties by helping them with their schoolwork and offering an English course. We also organize an English Sport Camp at the end of June, offer Italian language courses for foreigners and a clothes and food pantry for people in need, meetings for parents regarding family issues and family counseling.
