Many activities are related to each other. For example, a Prayer Walk may lead to a Gospel Conversation that leads to an ongoing series of Discipleship or Training activities. Through Chaininglinking, GAPP allows you to link connect these activities together to see the progress of the Lord’s work.

Chaining Linking can help you see patterns of Great Commission impact over time, which helps to inform your team’s strategy. Though GAPP will allow chaining linking between any activities, in general, you should chain link to an activity if it led directly to the next activity. For example, if you showed a gospel film to 50 people, and then had gospel conversations with 7 of them, you would chain link that gospel conversation activity (or activities if they were separate conversations) to the showed a film activity.
In another example, if you trained the same 5 people two weeks in a row, you should add the second training to the first as a recurring repeating activity so that the number being trained is not double counted.
Likewise, if you shared the gospel with the same person several times, those activities are recurring repeating since they happened with the same people. Each share counts as a new gospel share, but the people impacted count does not change.
On the other hand, if two activities were unrelated, even though they may have happened on the same day or in the same place, you probably would not want to chain link them.
There are several ways to get to the Chaining linking function, but here is the most basic.
