Inspirational Breakfast with Esther Higham
Nancy Goudie heads up the creative and innovative charity ngm. She was born in Ayr, Scotland when at the age of six she had a very powerful and dramatic experience of God. She grew up in a musical family and in her teens was part of a well-established band called Unity. As well as singing with the band she also put her qualifications in speech (ALCM) to good use by being one of the narrators in the musicals that Unity produced. Nancy had many opportunities to gain experience in the media as Unity appeared on many television and radio shows and in fact had their own show called ‘Unity Sings’.
In 1980, along with her husband, she moved to England after a clear call to full time Christian work and founded and led the internationally known band, Heartbeat. As one of the singers and main speakers, she travelled extensively throughout Britain and abroad seeing people’s lives transformed by the message they carried. During the 80’s, Nancy founded ngm as the organisation around the band Heartbeat. Throughout the 80’s they saw thousands saved and healed through the love and power of God. When Heartbeat finished in 1991, ngm continued and throughout the years, ngm have trained thousands of young people in the arts and discipleship and given them a vision of reaching their full potential. They are based in Thornbury, Bristol, UK, and have an amazing God given £3 million music and arts complex where all their training takes place.
