Nancy Goudie

Nancy Goudie heads up the creative and innovative charity NGM.

She was born in Ayr, Scotland where 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 which was founded by her husband, Ray and his brother, Derek. 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, Ray and Nancy moved to England after a clear call to full time Christian work. They founded and led the internationally known band, Heartbeat. As one of the singers and main speakers, Nancy travelled extensively throughout Britain and abroad seeing peoples’ lives transformed by the message they carried. During the 80’s, Ray and Nancy changed the name of the overall work to NGM with Heartbeat being one of the bands under the umbrella of NGM.

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 in God. They taught everyone who joined NGM how to live by faith and depend on God for all their finances, both individually and corporately. They are based in Thornbury, Bristol, UK, and have an amazing God given £3 million music and arts complex where all their work, rehearsals and training takes place.


Nancy has written eighteen books, Developing Spiritual Wholeness (1992); Nancy Goudie’s Spiritual Health Plan (1995); Nancy Goudie’s Spiritual Health Workout (2001); 50 Creative Worship Ideas (2002); Med alla SINNEN – Sweden (2003), Hot Faith (2004); Luv Esther (2006); Treasures of Darkness (2008); The Beloved (2009); Confident?

For many years she wrote and produced her own yearly magazine called Spiritual Health. She has also recorded five meditation CD’s, three of which are still available: Peace Like a River; Smile and Meditations For The Beloved. Her most recent CDs called Speak & Speak Volume 2 help you to read, believe and confess Biblical truth. Nancy is also regularly on radio and TV programmes.


Nancy has also pioneered unique and creative conferences called Nancy Goudie’s Spiritual Health Weekends, which are extremely popular and are often sold out weeks before the event. Hundreds of women from the UK and beyond attend these conferences each year and testify to this being an incredible life-changing event for them. In 2022 she celebrated 25 years of holding these events at the Metropole Hilton Hotel in Birmingham. Her next Spiritual Health Weekend is being held on 2 – 4th February 2024 at The De Vere Cotswold Water Park Hotel.


Nancy has the privilege of speaking at churches and events all over the world. She is perfectly at home in speaking at small gatherings or in large events.


“During an evening event Nancy came and shared and the presence of God was so powerful. The Words God shared through her, resonated with many who attended that evening and came out in the form of incredible testimonials from individuals who were present. A wonderful night with Nancy.”
