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.

Leslie J. - Prayer Candidate 134


Leslie is 54 years old and has been homeless for many years. He is a victim of severe paranoid schizophrenia which left him completely unable to function in any group setting. In the fall of 2009 he received mental healthcare through the help of Church of the Reconciler. Now Leslie is able to communicate normally with other people and has a peaceful demeanor. He is even able to smile and express joy. He is a miracle of God’s grace. Leslie asks that you pray he will be able to get Social Security Disability through the help of social workers at the church and find a permanent place to live.

Update:  Leslie is showing signs of slipping back into a state of fear and disturbance. He is still communicating with people but his demeanor is changing and there are signs he has stopped taking his medication or that it is not working properly. Please pray for his return to the peaceful, happy world he enjoyed for many months.

Update:  Prayer works!! Leslie has returned to his improved mental state and is smiling and talking to people once again. Thank you for the cards and letters you have sent.
