Welcome to prayforthehomeless.org. This site offers you the opportunity to meet someone who is homeless and pray for them. We also include people who have recently been homeless and are in recovery from homelessness. They all have one thing in common: they need the power and blessings of your prayers. A small percentage of the homeless are able to stay in public shelters or other temporary accommodations for short periods, but the majority of these people sleep in abandoned buildings, warehouses or under bridges each night. We invite you to pick a different person to pray for each week and share this idea with a friend. This site is in the process of development. You can expect it to grow and change over the coming weeks and months. We invite your feedback and comments by email at prayforthehomeless@gmail.com.


We have added a feedback feature that allows you to click to indicate your committment to pray, write or email others. Providing this response will let others know which homeless have many people praying for them and which ones are still waiting for prayer. At the bottom of this page click on "OLDER POSTS" to see more homeless prayer candidates.

Renita W. - Prayer Candidate 142

Renita is 38 years old and originally from Bessemer, Alabama. She was a restaurant manager for Captain D’s before becoming homeless. Renita has two teenagers, a daughter and a son, who both live with their father. She has struggled with addiction for many years and continues to work to overcome her dependency one day at a time. During the two years she has been homeless she has reached out to care for many others in the homeless community. She is currently taking care of her partner, who is suffering from stage 4 colon cancer. Without Renita’s constant care he would have been unable to survive the surgeries, chemotherapy and radiation treatment he has received while enduring homelessness. She works each day to give him the strength to carry on. Renita asks that you pray she will be strengthened in the Lord and be blessed. She also asks that you pray for her children.
