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.

Randy P. - Prayer Candidate 156

Randy is 55 years old and grew up in the Roebuck area of Birmingham, Alabama. For many years he worked as a self-employed contractor installing swimming pools all over the city. Randy says he basically wore his body out carrying cement. Now he has 2 rebuilt knees and several bad disks in his back leaving him physically disabled. Randy has also suffered from cocaine addiction for the past 15 years and is in recovery. He has been homeless for the past 2 years and was originally staying by the railroad tracks until his tent burned in an accident. Now Randy receives enough disability income each month to stay in an extended-stay motel room for about 2 weeks and then he spends the rest of the month on the street. During these times he usually stays with a friend in an abandoned building. He makes an effort to help care for his friend Charles who is homeless and has stage 4 colon cancer. Randy asks that you pray he will be strengthened in the Lord and hopes you will include all lost and homeless people in your prayers. He also seeks prayer for his brother Eddie who has just suffered a stroke.
