• Muthee's Witch Hunt

  In 1988, Muthee went to Kiambu, a suburb of Nairobi, Kenya. After six months of prayer and research he identified the source of the spiritual unrest in Kiambu as "Mama Jane", who ran a "divination clinic." The "Prayer Cave" began in the basement of the church with 200 members, and, using "spiritual warfare" he says, "the demonic influence over Kiambu was broken." Mama Jane was forced out of town.Christian Science Monitor: Targeting cities with 'spiritual mapping,' prayer (September 23, 1999)

• Defending Witchcraft

  On September 25, 2008, the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights issued a press release which criticized "pundits" for making Thomas Muthee's anti-witchcraft campaign an issue in the election. Bill Donohue, the President of the League, said “Witchcraft is a sad reality in many parts of Africa, resulting in scores of deaths in Kenya over the past two decades... Muthee should be hailed for asking God to shield Palin from harmful forces, however they may be manifested."Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights: Pundits Slam Palin (September 25, 2008)
