## Summary Paul Cain (1929–2019) was an American evangelist active first in the post-World War II healing revival and later as one of the ministers known as the Kansas City Prophets. In the late 1980s and early 1990s he became publicly associated with John Wimber and the Vineyard. His ministry linked the mid-century healing revival to later charismatic prophetic movements. ## Substance Cain began preaching young and traveled as a healing evangelist during the same era that produced figures like William Branham. He stepped back from public ministry for a long period before returning to prominence in the 1980s. In that later period he was counted among the Kansas City Prophets, a group of ministers connected with a Kansas City church and, for a time, with the Vineyard movement. His prophetic ministry drew both attention and scrutiny within charismatic circles. Cain's later years included public reporting about personal conduct that led to a withdrawal from ministry, a matter documented in charismatic-movement sources. This wiki notes that neutrally and leaves the detail to those records. He died in 2019. ## Why it matters in this wiki Cain sits at the junction of the mid-century healing revival and the modern prophetic movements this wiki examines. He connects the earlier revival, associated with Branham, to the Kansas City Prophets and the Vineyard. ## Related - [[Kansas City Prophets]] - [[William Branham]]
