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.

Thomas C. - Prayer Candidate 170

Thomas is 53 years old and is originally from Hueytown, Alabama. He became homeless in a divorce 3 years ago and has lived various places on the street, including in a van for 4 or 5 months. His divorce included a bankruptcy which left him with bad credit, making it impossible to get an apartment lease approved in his name. Like many homeless people Thomas has a job that gives him frequent work. He lays commercial flooring and was one of the people who helped lay the floor in the North Pavilion of UAB Hospital. Thomas also recently donated his labor to help lay the new tile floor in the remodeling of the Church of the Reconciler men’s bathroom. He is currently staying in a motel in the downtown area.

Thomas suffers from liver problems and is need of dental work. He asks you to pray he will, “make it from day to day,” and for his health to improve. He has 4 sons and asks you to include them in your prayers.
