Getting Started as a Supporter

This article walks you through following your first missionary and finding your way around CordLine as a supporter.

What a supporter account is

As a supporter, you follow missionaries and organizations to see their updates, pray for them, and cheer them on. You don't post updates yourself — your account is built for reading, praying, and encouraging.

Connecting with your first missionary

Most supporters arrive through a link a missionary shares with them.

1. Open the link a missionary sent you — by text, email, or a QR code.
2. If you don't have an account yet, sign up with your email address or your Google account.
3. Once you're signed in, you'll see a screen to follow that missionary.

If someone invited you but you're not sure where the link went, ask them to resend it, or search for their ministry directly — see our article on finding and following a missionary.

Approval isn't always instant

For most missionaries, following them connects you right away. Some missionaries review each new supporter before they can see updates. If that's the case, you'll see a message that your request is pending, and you'll be connected as soon as they approve it.

Choosing your account type

When you sign up, you'll be asked whether you're a supporter, a missionary, or an organization. Choose Supporter if you're here to follow and encourage — you can always add a missionary or organization account later without losing this one. See our article on choosing the right CordLine account type if you picked the wrong one by mistake.

What you'll see once you're connected

• A feed of updates from everyone you follow, newest first.
• A welcome post, if the missionary has one, introducing their ministry.
• Ways to respond — you can pray, react, and leave comments on what they share.

A few tips for getting started

• Follow a few people to start. Your feed comes alive once you're connected to at least one or two missionaries or organizations.
• Turn on notifications so you don't miss an update — see our article on setting up push notifications.
• Explore Discover if you'd like to find missionaries and organizations you don't already know — see our article on finding and following a missionary.
