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.

Melissa R. - Prayer candidate 103


Melissa is 23 years old and has been homeless for quite some time. She stays in an property with no electricity or running water. Melissa is fighting a battle with addiction and is very proud that she has been clean for several weeks. She has a son who lives with her mother in another community. She asks that you pray for healing in her battle with addiction, as well as for her son. Melissa also seeks your prayers for her friend who joins her in the struggle to overcome addiction.

Update:  Melissa attended a memorial service at Church of the Reconciler in the 2nd week of February and appeared to be in very good spirits and healthy. When she found out people were praying for her she expressed her sincere appreciation and asked for continued prayer.
