prayforthehomeless.org: Rod J. - Prayer Candidate 127

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.

How can I help?

The greatest thing you can do to "help" is PRAY. In addition to praying you can encourage a homeless person by writing to let them know you are praying for them. Homeless people get almost no personal mail so sending them a personal card, letter or note will do more to lift their spirits than you could ever imagine. Address the card or letter to the person you are praying for by their name and prayer candidate number at prayforthehomeless.org, c/o Church of the Reconciler, 112 14th St. North, Birmingham, AL 35203.
