I am Ciro Marco Saggese. On January 20, 1994, the Lord came into my life delivering me from various problems like violence, light drugs, immorality, and many other things that enslaved me. God called me to full time ministry. I left everything and became part of a mission organization called Christ is the Answer, here in Italy. On January 1999 I went to the U.S. for the fist time. There I attended the Brownsville Revival School of Ministry in Pensacola Fl, right in the midst of Revival. During School I met Kathy who became my wife in May 2001. We itinerated in the US and by the end of 2004 we moved to Avellino, South Italy. I was ordained minister in 2010 and i became an American Citizen in 2011. Our desire is to see a great move of God in this country. Italy has never experienced a national revival. Italy has a little less then 1% born again christians of all denominations. We believe a united church will make a difference. Since 2014, we are leaving near Naples, where we planted our second church.
We train evangelists, do church planting and have a non-profit organization.

Trips to the US
Kathy, the children and I travel back and forth from the United States to Italy to strengthen the work we are planting in Italy and to look for Ministry opportunity in the United States visiting the great Christian family that God has provided for us. Each time we travel back home to the US, we take our time to see friends and family whom we love and long being with. In the States there is always an opportunity for preaching the Gospel of Jesus. Some of the things that have changed my life is the understanding of church planting that God has released on the American Church, the knowledge that is stored in this blessed country and the source of wisdom that anyone can find in it. From huge Christian bookstores to revived churches, from great evangelists to devoted believers that give all they have for the Cause, from humble little town pastors to huge metropolis downtown ghetto preachers, from little mamas intercessors to prayer warriors conferences, from Mega Christian concerts to little Christian music practice. The list would be never ending, but the United States of America, despite its inner problems and growing immorality, is one of the most important places on earth to have stored an incredible source of wisdom and anointing which is released all over the nations. We are proud of being missionaries trained and sent by the church of this Godly nation.

TRAINING FOR OUTREACHES
Seek and Save Ministry is very much outreach oriented. We believe that one of the way God operates is by Seeking the lost in their world. We believe that one way God can manifest his glory in people's lives is by being active in the action of preaching the Gospel. We believe that it isn't enough to put a sign outside the church doors inviting people to come in at our designated time and at our designated day. People are always on the move and are walking toward a final destination. Jesus is seeking the lost to save them. We Believe that Jesus has a plan to encounter people while they are moving about, and that He wants to do it through us. Each time we have put together an event in the streets we have seen how much God would release a message to people who actually stopped and listened to what we had to communicate to them. We use all kinds of methods of evangelism to find the right message to apply to the passerby at the right time. We train for skits, dramas, puppet shows, clown shows, sketch-boards, witnessing, preaching and more streets strategies to seek and to save the lost in the name of the Lord Jesus. Seek and Save Ministry helps other churches train, organize outreaches and preaching the gospel in the streets with all kinds of methods. |
These are some of the pictures of some of the events that took place after we trained churches to do puppets, skits, dramas and to testify about their lives. We have seen how God has sent us for this kind of outreach. The results were powerful, as people gathered to see the shows, and to hear the stories of several young people, whose lives were transformed forever.

NON PROFIT - FOODBANK AND HUMANITARIAN AID
In 2005 Ciro founded a non profit organization by the name of Progetto Yeshua (the Yeshua Project). The non profit organization works in the social as well as in the spiritual.
Our desire is to help those who are in need through all means and abilities. Our desire is to reach the needy and to change their world. Please, continue reading to know more about our social activities, such as Food-Collection, Relief Team, Food-bank and Rehab Program
For three years Seek and Save Ministry, through its registered non-profit organization Progetto Yeshua, helped the needs of families who are financially unstable. We helped about 500 people each month by giving them a box of food which contains foods like pasta, rise, milk, cookies for breakfast, oil, jelly, tomatoes sauce, fruits and vegetables, and other things. The Box of food were freely distributed to us by Banco Alimentare Campania - Fisciano (SA). The Content of the box varied month by month. Because of relocation, our non profit organization has stopped doing food bank until we are able to start again. Our goal is to give people not only material food but also a hope for the spiritual needs we see for their souls.
Every month we have seen several people who volunteer and help us pick up the food from the warehouse, unload the van, put the food into boxes and distribute the food to the families that would come and receive their box of food at the established time. If you would like to know more details about this program, or if you have any suggestion please contacat us by sending an email at cirosaggese@gmail.com

REHAB LINK
Seek and Save Ministry had begun a program called Rehab-Link which is connecting people with an addiction to a Rehabilitation Center through us. This program is structured this way:
If a person needs to be delivered from an addiction, let's say addiction to drugs, he would have to come to our church office and have an interview with us. After counseling, both spiritually and on a personal level, we will connect him with a rehab center. We will take the person all the way to the rehab center at our expenses, and there he will be released under the rules of the rehab center. So they will also interview him and if he is ready to start he will stay that very day. From there our work will end. The other thing will be that we will be emotionally and spiritually supportive of the family that lives near our mission/church office, and if one day the person will be returning at home we will be there to help him integrate himself again into the society.
We work maily with two rehab-center Bethel and Remar both are about 20 miles away from our town. If you have any suggestion please contact us.
