What is Chain Reaction?
The Principle:
A chain reaction is a reaction that produces a trigger of additional reactions. Bringing people together in an environment that needs the light they bring. Because of the synergy that is produced in their corporate passion for God, the synergy increases. The result is an impact of authentic and holistic evangelism. It becomes a natural demonstration of the supernatural love of Jesus Christ. In turn, those whose lives are impacted will trigger others to know God and reach out to others.
For three years we have taken hundreds of young people who have a passion for God into various neighborhood communities and begun to meet some of the physical and social needs of the residents. The results have been explosive to where we have seen thousands ministered to on the streets, in homes and in the market place.
Quotes:
"America’s young people will be a powerful force in our efforts to overcome evil with good. I look forward to the results their service will have in America’s communities and in their development as citizens."
- President George W. Bush
"I have a theory that if one person can go out of their way to show compassion, then it will start a chain reaction of the same."
- Rachel Scott

The Program:
The key to this experience bearing fruit in the lives of those who attend, and those of the residents they reach out to, is that the principles of God’s love and the mandated response to His love are taught and realized. The speakers are Leaders in the Body of Christ who are practitioners of what they are teaching. The Worship is lead by individuals who not only have a great passion but who are also skilled at their craft.
In deciding on what cities to partner with in these initiatives, we look for specific qualities. They have to have been active in the communities for a number of years. They have to have a comprehensive follow up plan for the months that follow the event. They also have to have a proven track record of investing in the youth of this nation.
The combination of experiencing God, being taught the principles and given the platform to walk out those principles serves as a great flash point in triggering a reaction.
