Do not fill this in! === Public apology === In April 2004, [[Rick Joyner]], [[Jack Deere]], and [[Mike Bickle (minister)|Mike Bickle]], three ministers who had long-held, close ministerial relationships with Cain, met with Cain to confront him about a [[homosexual]] relationship and several incidents of public drunkenness. He denied these accusations which led to Joyner, Deere and Bickle releasing a statement in October stating that he was unwilling to participate in the restoration process. However, in February 2005, Cain stepped down from ministry and issued a letter of confession, posted on his website<ref>{{cite web |title=Cain, Paul.

In response to this confession, David Andrade of Reclaiming The Valley International Ministries formed a restoration team.

His rehabilitation was questioned by Rick Joyner, Jack Deere, and Mike Bickle. They stated that they lacked confidence in his rehabilitation, did not consider him restored, and therefore his return to ministry was premature.<ref>[http://www.jackdeere.com/thoughts/an_update_on_pa.html Deere, Jack (January 2007)] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091023225909/http://www.jackdeere.com/thoughts/an_update_on_pa.html|date=2009-10-23}}</ref> By September 2007 Andrade was able to claim that Cain was restored and able to minister again freely.<ref>[http://www.mountainofworship.com/davidandradeword.htm Paul Cain: Restoration Team Letter] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120226152449/http://www.mountainofworship.com/davidandradeword.htm|date=2012-02-26|df=}}</ref> Summary: Please note that all contributions to Christianpedia may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors.
