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.

Shawn M. - Prayer candidate 112


Shawn is 30 years old and is originally from Jacksonsville, FL. He lives on the street and suffers from torn tendons in his leg from a moped accident last year. This makes walking and standing painful and exhausting. He has an infant son who lives with the child’s mother in another community. Shawn asks you to pray that he will be re-united with his child and that with God’s help he will be able to raise the little boy to know the Lord.

Update:  Shawn has been re-united with his son and the child's mother who is now also homeless. The family has spent the last month staying in the Interfaith Hospitality Network which takes only families with children. They reached their time limit in that program a few weeks ago and found shelter with friends for the past few weeks. They hope to get into an apartment through public housing in the coming weeks. Please continue to pray for these parents and their young son.
