What The Christian Chain Inc does
Mission
Our VISION is to see Christian churches working across denominational barriers, maintaining the Unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. Our MISSION is to connect people to people, churches to churches and the world to Jesus Christ. And our FOCUS, through the creation of resources and the building of strategic partnerships, is to bring together actionable programs that help the Christian Community work across denominational barriers to further the kingdom of God. Our Current PROGRAMS include: Prayer Nook, Samaritan Bags, and Partners in Unity.
As stated on its FY2021 Form 990.
Program
During this fiscal year, we launched a unique prayer app for churches and individuals to deepen their prayer life and connection to others. This prayer app, called Prayer Nook (prayernook.com), was designed to meet the "connecting people to people" part of our mission statement. The objective is to offer a way for members to journal, request prayers, pray with their friends, and strengthen their prayer life - all in one easy to use web and mobile app. Members are able to pray for those in their groups, share personal prayers within their inner circle, and journal prayers in their own private notebook. During this fiscal year, Prayer Nook went from a concept to the drawing board, to development and initial launch, all within a short 3-month period. From its launch in the second fiscal quarter until the close of the fiscal year, we have averaged 334 monthly visitors to the site, with 165 new members joining. Also, during this time period, 107 journal entries have been created, 133 prayer requests have been submitted (with 158 updates to prayer request added, and 46 prayer requests being marked as answered), and members have recorded 596 times that they have prayed for a prayer…

From the IRS filings of THE CHRISTIAN CHAIN INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.

THE CHRISTIAN CHAIN INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 97% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left

“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
100% of THE CHRISTIAN CHAIN INC's grant income comes from Arizona funders.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $129 arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been.
