Cynthia Anderson has spent decades catalyzing discipleship movements where ordinary people are now making and multiplying disciples across Asia and Africa. She brings that world to Western Christian leaders — and asks a bold question: What if your church could be more like this?
People baptized and discipled through movements she helped catalyze
Disciple making movements started across the global South
Years in cross-cultural church planting and movement leadership
Continents where she has lived and led ministry teams
Most of us preach surrender.
Far fewer of us practice the specific kind Jesus modeled — the kind that releases movements instead of just producing devoted followers.
One Job
Jesus gave us one commission, not five programs. This message cuts through the complexity of modern ministry and asks: what would change if we actually took the Great Commission literally?
Who’s Really Called to Make Disciples?
Most churches have accidentally outsourced the Great Commission to the professionals. This message hands it back to everyone.

Cynthia Anderson was born in Africa to missionary parents and grew up across that region. After studying Cross-Cultural Ministry at North Central University in Minnesota, she joined YWAM and spent years in church planting — first in Nepal, then 14 years in India, then a decade in Thailand — before returning to the United States.
Along the way, the church she helped plant became a movement. Then she helped catalyze 24 more. Over 250,000 people have come to Christ, been baptized, and begun making disciples.
Today Cynthia leads Dare to Multiply, equipping Western church leaders and global practitioners to think and act like multipliers, and Disciple Makers Increase (a YWAM Frontier Missions nonprofit), supporting indigenous movement practitioners among the world’s unreached peoples.
She is the author of The Multiplier’s Mindset and co-hosts the Dare to Multiply podcast. She speaks with the authority of someone who has watched ordinary disciples change nations — and the warmth of someone who still believes yours can too.
