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.

Delbert G. - Prayer Candidate 130


Delbert is 51 years old and has lived most of his life in a neighborhood known as Sandusky, located in western Jefferson County, Alabama. He became homeless in the fall of 2009 and is in the process of adjusting to life on the street. Like many homeless people he no longer has any family he can count on. He has spent most of his career as a commercial carpet installer and says he has, “laid carpet in almost every building in Birmingham at least once.” Delbert has a bad knee that gives him a lot of trouble. He asks that you pray for his knee and a “good job.” Delbert also asks that you pray he will find the peace of Christ.
