He became internationally known when in 2008, it was reported that United States vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin had financed his work after seeing a video of his claims of successful use of spiritual mapping to identify and persecute a woman for witchcraft.
After seeing the video, Palin invited Muthee to Alaska, where he gave her a blessing when she ran for governor, prior to her vice presidential run.
[5] Muthee alleged that "top government and business leaders [were] afraid to do anything without her approval," that at least one person per month would die in a car accident in front of her "divination house"[6] and that she weekly "went to Thomas' church site, performed magic, and cast her spells and curses.
When the police entered Mama Jane's home to intervene, they were allegedly startled by what they believed to be a demon and shot her pet python dead.
[10][11] The event was depicted in two videos by George Otis, Jr., Transformations and The Quickening,[12][13] in which Muthee claimed that the crime and traffic accident rate in Kiambu dropped drastically after Mama Jane left, and that he is responsible for positive social change in the town.
It is high time that we have top Christian businessmen, businesswomen, bankers, you know, who are men and women of integrity, running the economics of our nations.
[27] Some sources compared the story to the Jeremiah Wright controversy,[21][25] but The Boston Herald described it as "all smoke and no fire," [28] pointing out that some religious experts believed that, in light of Muthee's cultural background, there was nothing strange about the prayer.
[33] In 2004, Muthee delivered two sermons as a guest pastor at the Kingsgate Community Church in the United Kingdom, recorded and posted on its website.
[41] Churches in Finland have donated funds to Muthee's congregation to build and support projects including a vocational center to provide training in tailoring, dressmaking, and fashion design; hairdressing and beauty therapy; computer studies; catering; plumbing; motor vehicle mechanics; and welding and metal works.
[47] Beginning in January 2008, the Word of Faith Church in Limuru cooperated with the Kenya Red Cross and UNICEF to house internally displaced persons.
[51] Muthee's ventures since then include plans to provide a pastor for the Maasai in Kenya as part of a project with Eagle Rock Covenant Network to help the tribe dig a well and build a village.
[54] Restoration Alliance is affiliated with Radiant Life Church[7] in Sacramento where Thomas Muthee has been a frequent speaker and personal friend of Pastor Tony Cunningham.
