How Switchboard works
We connect mission teams with skilled Believers across the world
Matching Believers’ skills with ministry needs
We’re connecting skilled volunteers – Kingdom Consultants (KCs) – with those serving in Great Commission Organizations (GCOs).
Discover new ways to connect your skills and experience with the Great Commission. Or, get help to carry out the global mission you’re already on. Either way, Switchboard is here to help!
How the process works
We’re connecting everyday Believers with ministry needs across the globe.
It’s all about the connection so that those with needs and those who can help know each other.
The process is simple, but the impact is profound:
A Kingdom Consultant (KC) creates a profile
You’ll share your expertise and info, select topics you feel comfortable serving in, and choosing how you want to serve by selecting a one hour conversation or ongoing virtual role.
A Great Commission Organization (GCO) requests a connection or creates a virtual role
A GCO browses the catalog and chooses a topic he/she wants help with. They will either create a one off connection request or an ongoing virtual role. The request will be sent to multiple KCs who have made their expertise available on the requested topics.
The connection request is accepted
When a KC receives a request, they can decide if it’s a good match and either accept or decline.
Whoever accepts first will be connected and the request will no longer be available to other KCs who received it.
KC & GCO Introduction
Both the KC and GCO are sent an email so they can coordinate how they want to have the conversation.
Connect for a conversation
The KC and GCO have a one-hour conversation focused on the topic requested by the GCO and they move the mission forward together. If it’s a virtual role, you have the ability to continue working with the GCO on a deeper, more impactful level.
Continue making an impact
After the conversation, the KC and GCO receive a survey to provide feedback to help Switchboard continue hosting impactful conversations.
A GCO can then make additional connection requests and KCs can continue bringing their best to the Great Commission.
