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.

Chris B. - Prayer Candidate 144

Chris is 26 years old and grew up in the Hueytown, Alabama area. He studied auto mechanics in high school and finds work pulling motors and transmissions or doing other auto repairs as work is available. As a very young teenager Chris became addicted to heroin while using drugs with other family members who suffered from addiction. He has now spent over a decade of his life as a heroin addict. Over the past year he has successfully fought his addiction through treatment in a local methadone clinic. Chris also suffers from hepatitis C and bi-polar disorder. He has spent much of his adult life homeless, but has recently been re-united with family members who are allowing him to stay with them as circumstances permit. Chris has a growing faith and earnestly seeks to end his addiction to methadone so he may live drug free for the first time since he was a child. He asks that you give him strong support in prayer as he fights to overcome his addiction. Chris also seeks your prayers for the continued healing of his relationship with his mother who is also working to overcome addiction. He has a 12 year old son and asks that you pray he will be able to resume his relationship with his child. Chris is thankful for the power of your prayers in his life.

Update:  Chris has just learned of a crisis situation with his mother and asks for your prayers and support during this painful and challenging time.

Update:  Chris is thankful for your prayers. For the first time in a long time he has been able to see his son multiple times in the last few weeks and is very thankful for the opportunity to resume their father/son relationship. He asks you to pray he will have wisdom in his walk with his son. Chris is also experiencing some health problems and asks you to pray for his health.

Update:  Chris had a seizure/mini-stroke type episode on March 3rd. Paramedics were called, but since he was able to get back on his feet with in an hour of the event, he refused hospitalization in order to work toward getting money to have utilities turned on in the place he is staying in. He also feared leaving to get medical treatment would endanger his ability to continue caring for his son a few days a week. Please pray for Chris' health.

Update:  Chris has had a strong improvement in his health and has found some temporary work with a company that provides services for festivals and events during the spring and summer months. He appreciates the prayers and encouragement from everyone who has written to him.
