Giving Tuesday 2020

What is Giving Tuesday and How You Can Help?

Since 2012, the first Tuesday after Thanksgiving has been designated as #GivingTuesday, a global generosity movement dedicated to transforming communities around the world. #GivingTuesday encourages people to do good around the world, and inspires millions to give and celebrate generosity.

In that spirit, The Christian Chain invites you to participate in #GivingTuesday by donating to our cause: connecting Christians around the world to fulfill Jesus' prayer for a united Church.

The Christian Chain is a Phoenix, Arizona non-profit working to fulfill God's plan for the Church to be unified as one. Through ministry partnerships, online forums, and actionable programs, we strive to live out Jesus' prayer for the Church in John 17:20-23, and Paul's exhortation for the church in Ephesians 4:1-6.

Samaritan Bags

Samaritan Bags is a public service project aimed at packing bags of essential items to meet the immediate, continual and eternal needs of the homeless population. These bags can be handed out at homeless shelters or churches, or be kept in your car so that you have something to hand out to someone on the side of the road who is in need. And the great thing about these bags is that they aren't just limited to the homeless – teachers, hospital workers, first responders, and essential personnel all benefit from Samaritan Bags. By coming together to provide for those in our communities, we unite to become Jesus' hands and feet, sharing the gospel with a hurting word.

Using scriptural support and gospel-based resources, Partners in Unity helps churches actively live out unity within the Body of Christ.

Through God's provision this year via a one-time grant, The Christian Chain has been able to grow our staff to a team of ten. With that grant money coming to an end, we can look back over this past year and see how much we have grown and that we have achieved so much in such a short amount of time – and yet there's plenty more to do! But, we can't do it without your generosity.

As you enter this season of giving, please consider The Christian Chain in your giving plans.

We do not seek to diminish or promote one denomination over another – rather, to set aside differences and work together across denominations to be Jesus' hands and feet, to bring the gospel of life-changing grace to a hurting world.

We invite you to review our website to learn more about our organization and why we strive toward seeing God's Church United and Unleashed.
