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.

Peter M. - Prayer candidate 121

Pete is married and now lives in a home in the Fountain Heights area of Birmingham.  He is happy to finally be in a home that has utilities. Pete and his wife Greer have been homeless off and on for several years, living in both their car and a few homes that had no utilities. They once constructed a make shift house under an overpass made from found wood and discarded construction materials, but it was demolished by the city. Pete used to do survey work. Both he and his wife volunteer regularly helping serve meals in the kitchen at Church of the Reconciler. His bright smile and encouraging cheerful spirit make him a strong leader in the homeless community. Pete is originally from Louisiana but has lived in Alabama for many years. He does lawn and landscaping work when it's available. Pete asks that you pray for his wife’s health. She has heart disease and diabetes.

Update:  Pete was hit by a hit and run driver in downtown Birmingham the first week in April. He was able to walk away from the accident but has multiple injuries. He is in a lot of pain and moves very slowly. In addition to this, Pete and his wife lost their place to stay and are back living on the street. He really needs your support in prayer and encouragement at this time.
