Everything you need to know about Prophet Elvis Mbonye, a leading pastor and founder of Zoe Fellowship Ministries, including his tribe, father and wife.

When people talk about prophets in modern times, the conversation often comes with skepticism. But in Uganda, one name keeps coming up—Elvis A. Mbonye.

To some, he’s a spiritual trailblazer. To others, a controversial figure. But to his loyal followers, Mbonye isn’t just preaching; he’s predicting—and he’s been doing it for years.

Who is Prophet Elvis Mbonye?

Prophet Mbonye is a Ugandan preacher, soft-spoken and self-proclaimed modern prophet. He is the founder of the Zoe Fellowship Ministries located in Lugogo.

He was born into a family of 7 children, whose parents died in 1990 and 1996, leaving them orphaned.

How old is Prophet Elvis Mbonye

Prophet Elvis Mbonye is 48 years old. His birthday is March 27, and he was born in 1977. He is the son of the late Leo Ntiru and Teddy Ntiru, from Bugolobi in Kampala.

Mbonye graudated from Makerere

Mbonye went to Mbuya Nursery School and Kiswa Primary School for his primary education. Mbonye then went to Kigezi College Butobere for his O-level and his A-level at Standard High School in Zana.

He then moved to Makerere University in Kampala, where he received his bachelor’s degree in development studies in 2004. 

What is Zoe Fellowship and what happens there?

Zoe Fellowship is the weekly prophetic gathering he founded. It’s not your typical church service. People come expecting prophecies, spiritual direction, and teachings that go deeper than what most are used to.

For many, it’s become a place of revelation and unusual spiritual experiences.

His calling began in 1998

According to Mbonye, his spiritual journey began in 1998 after what he calls a powerful encounter with the Holy Spirit. “My old identity dissolved,” he said. “From that moment, I stepped into a new reality in Christ.” It was the beginning of what he believes to be his prophetic mission.

What’s his bigger message?

Elvis Mbonye often talks about living with awareness — not just going through the motions of religion. His focus is on helping people “see beyond the surface of life” and connect directly with God. “The eternal is real,” he says. “And you can experience it now.”

Who is the wife of Prophet Mbonye?

Prophet Elvis Mbonye married Harriet Mbonye, a businesswoman. Mbonye’s wife surprisingly does not attend his church sermons and fellowships. When asked, he says his wife follows his teachings at home on TV.

Prophet Mbonye is a Mufumbira

Although he was the son of the late Leo Ntiru, of the Bafumbira tribe of Uganda, Prophet Elvis Mbonye did not receive any of his father’s name ‘Ntiru’. The Bafumbira tribe (Mufumbira) is from Kisoro, the Kigezi sub-region.

What is the net worth of Prophet Mbonye?

The fleet of expensive cars he owns and the most comfortable house speaks volumes about his pocket.

But according to the Celebrity Net worth website, although the unconfirmed sources report (estimated at $115 million), the current net worth of Prophet Elvis Mbonye is still under review.

Mbonye predicted the 89th Academy Awards

Elvis Mbonye’s prophecies began with predictions about this year’s Academy Awards (Oscars), whose nominations were later announced for 2017.

Admitting that he knew very little about Hollywood, Mbonye predicted that African American Viola Davis would win Best Supporting Actress, and was surprised to be recognized by the name when some in his congregation cheered.

He said that Zootopia would win the best-animated film and that City of the Stars would pick the best song of the year. And as prophesied, all the above won and many other.

Why He’s Both Loved and Criticized

Mbonye’s bold style and supernatural claims haven’t come without pushback. Critics question the accuracy of his prophecies and point to his luxurious lifestyle as a red flag. But his supporters say the results speak for themselves—and that his confidence is rooted in divine calling, not ego.

“It’s not about effort,” Mbonye explains. “Once you’re aligned with heaven, insight flows.”

What are some of the prophecies he’s known for?

This is where things get interesting. Mbonye says he predicted:

  • The 2004 Asian tsunami—down to the exact date (December 26)—three months before it happened.
  • The fall of North African governments before the Arab Spring began.
  • The 2010 terrorist bombings in Kampala.

All of these, he claims, were shared during fellowship meetings—before they made headlines.

How does he describe these prophetic experiences?

He doesn’t claim to have a formula. Instead, he talks about being “tuned in” to God. “It’s not about effort,” he says. “Once you’re aligned with heaven, insight flows.” For him, it’s about spiritual awareness, not just religious routine.
