Chaining can help you see patterns of Great Commission impact over time, which helps to inform your team’s strategy. Though GAPP will allow chaining between any activities, in general, you should chain 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 that gospel conversation activity (or activities if they were separate conversations) to the human needs project activity.
In another example, if you trained the same 5 people two weeks in a row, you should chain the second training to the first so that the number being trained is not double counted.
Likewise, if you shared the gospel with the same person several times, you should chain those activities together to prevent double counting the number of people who heard.
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 them.
