The Reverend Ben Smith is the Founding President of Elisha Company of Prophets which was established in 2002 to build spiritual awareness of the prophetic ministry within the body of Christ and assist in the advancement, preservation and restorative process of the prophetic ministry.

At the age of seven he was called as a prophet to the nations by the Lord Jesus Christ and given the mandate to share God’s love to hurting world, activating the gifts of God in the body of Christ. Rev. Smith is a graduate of Palm Beach Atlantic College in Florida, where he earned his Bachelor of Arts degree, and Deliverance Bible College in Dunlap Tennessee, where he obtained his diploma of Evangelism and Missions. In 1997, he was licensed and ordained as a minister.

Rev. Smith has traveled extensively throughout the world, proclaiming the Good News of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, with signs, wonders and miracles following the believer. He has also been instrumental in leadership training and spiritual protocol seminars, prophetic schools, bible schools, music workshops and overseeing several churches. Presently, this man of God serves in many capacities, including the office of a prophet at Family Church of Christian Retreat, under the local covering of the Gospel Crusade Ministerial Fellowship and the global covering of Apostle J. Rodney Roberts (Bahamas). Rev Smith is married to the lovely Mrs. Schevon Smith and along with their son Eliysha, they are flourishing in ministry.

The Institute of Prophetic Ministry seeks to provide believers with the guidelines for receiving, understanding and fulfilling the call of God as it relates to the gift of prophecy, the office of the prophet and other areas of the prophetic ministry. Emphasis will be placed on the gifts of the Holy Spirit, the call, anointing, authority and ministry of the prophet, the company of prophets, prophetic ministers and prophetic people, along with the importance of submission and servant-hood.
