I’m excited to share a set of new features designed to remove friction and accelerate your connections.
First, we’ve enabled online chat between KCs and GCOs as soon as a connection is made. No more waiting on email threads or trying to schedule video calls days later. Now, real-time conversations can spark immediately— We like to think of it more like speed dating than an arranged marriage. Make a new connection and begin the conversation quickly and effortlessly.
Second, you’ll now receive personalized invitations to serve directly in your inbox. These are curated based on your specific skills and interests, so when something aligns with your calling, you can respond with just one click. It’s fast, it’s clear, and it’s built for people who are ready to say “yes” but just need the right door opened.
To make this even more effective, we’ve added a new “Matches Your Skills” filter to help you browse virtual roles based on your strengths—whether you’re a developer, teacher, writer, designer, or financial expert. We don’t want volunteers guessing where they might fit. We want you to serve with confidence, knowing you’re walking in your God-given gifts.
KCs are now partnering with GCOs across Africa, South America, Southeast Asia, and beyond—sometimes once, often again and again. These aren’t one-time gigs. They’re Kingdom relationships. Ongoing collaborations. Lasting fruit. More than that, people are connecting with many others—building a web of global relationships that extend beyond a single task. It’s not just about completing a project; it’s about forming a network of trust, purpose, and shared mission that continues to grow over time.
So whether you’re a GCO looking for help or a KC ready to serve, now is the time to step in. With tools like real-time chat, one-click connection, skill-based matching, and a growing global community, Global Switchboard is more equipped than ever to help you serve where you’re most needed.
