As a minister of the Gospel, Bishop Boateng passed through the hands of many seasoned men of God before he got the prompting of the Holy Spirit to establish the Mountain Movers Chapel, which he currently heads as the head pastor and general overseer and which has branches in various parts of the world. Among the men of God through whose hands Bishop Boateng passed were well-accomplished apostles like Bishop Opoku Afriyie of the Assemblies of God Church, the late renowned evangelist and Apostle Aqcuah, the respected Evangelist Seth Fevlo, the late Apostle Sackey and several others from whom he picked some traits that have made him well-established and successful in various aspects of the ministry, including prayer, word ministration, prophecy, teaching and healing.
Perhaps, what is even more startling about Bishop Boateng and his immense seriousness in his work as an apostle of Christ is that he is a converted Muslim who has survived several trials and temptations. Therefore, he is a tried, tested and proven minister devoted to his calling and uncompromising in his faith and commitment to his calling. The passion and uniqueness of Bishop Boateng’s ministry manifest in his preparedness to preach the Gospel wherever he has to. He has been on some of the most significant flights and used business class to the most prominent cities and elitist congregations to preach the Gospel. He has also ridden on motorcycles to remote villages where there is no electricity to preach to congregations who do not even have musical instruments apart from clapping their hands in singing. He is a man of God who lives on prayer, and his mantra is, ‘A prayerless Christian is a powerless Christian but a prayerful Christian is a powerful Christian.’
As a respected and world-renowned preacher and statesman, Bishop Elisha Kwabena Boateng has interacted with and ministered to the high and mighty in various countries, such as political and traditional leaders, including His Royal Majesty Otumfuo Osei Tutu, the Asantehene, Ghana. He has also been honoured by the revered House of Lords in the United Kingdom–London for his contributions to the development of the human community.
