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.

Kevin H. - Prayer Candidate 141

Kevin is 47 years old and originally from Detroit, Michigan. He moved to Birmingham 5 years ago and worked for a concrete company for several years before he lost his job and his apartment. He has been homeless for the past 2 years and has stayed in various shelters and on the street. He has chronic health problems which include cardio-pulmonary disease, a back injury and bi-polar disorder. Ten days before Christmas Kevin suffered a heart attack while riding on a city bus. He was rushed to the hospital where they performed surgery to insert two stints to save his life. He was dismissed from the hospital with no place to go and no way to fill his medications. Through the generosity of a local church his Plavix prescription was filled on Christmas Eve. Another local heart attack survivor who heard about Kevin’s plight is allowing Kevin to stay in his spare bedroom temporarily to recover. He asks that you pray he will be able to continue getting his medications and find a permanent home. He also asks you to pray for his grandchildren that he has been unable to see for several years. Included in this group is a new grandson he has never seen.

Update:  Volunteers at Church of the Reconciler have succeeded in finding an apartment for Kevin through the public housing system that is designated for someone with his mental health condition. Other volunteers located furniture and household goods and helped him to move in during the first week of February 2010. Thank you for all your prayers that have contributed to this miracle in Kevin's life. Please continue to pray for him and his health as he recovers from homelessness and his heart attack.

Update:  Please continue to pray for Kevin. He is still experiencing heart problems and may have to have additional stents put in. He is also having problems adjusting to his heart and blood pressure medication.
