Cindy Donaldson

Cindy has been in ministry for over 30 years and most of that time she has focused on ministry to women in particular. Her heart is to see women become all they are called and purposed to be and her ministry has seen women equipped and empowered to succeed in the seven mountains of influence.

Cindy’s ministry is prophetic and she desires to always make room for the Spirit of God to move in signs and wonders and for the Word of God in season to bring radical change and transformation to lives.

Tongan by birth, Cindy has a heart for the women of the Pacific. After spending her early years in New Zealand, Cindy and her husband Stirling moved to Australia with their then young family and now have a tribe of beautiful grandchildren. Family is very important to her and Stirling and they believe in leaving a legacy to your children and generations.

Cindy is part of the leadership team of Women of the Frontlines Pacific under Apostle Royree Jensen and was commissioned by her for the work of the ministry in Fiji. She ministers annually in New Zealand, Tonga, American Samoa and Fiji through WOFL with more Pacific nations opening up this year.

Cindy and Stirling live on the Gold Coast, Australia where they are a part of their local church and on the Pastoral Care team of Hillsong Gold Coast. They are strong supporters of being planted and serving in a local church community and the stability that brings to family.

Cindy founded Women of Courage in 2018 as another way to empower and equip women and strengthen them to fulfil their individual callings and be a blessing to their local churches.
