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.

Sharon M. - Prayer Candidate 140

Sharon is 41 years old and grew up as a farm girl in the rural Sylacauga, Alabama area. She has two daughters 17 and 19 years old who are living with family. Sharon is both physically and mentally disabled. In addition to having a back injury, Sharon suffers from bi-polar disorder and schizophrenia. Many years ago she began trying to escape the symptoms of her mental illness by using drugs and developed an addiction which she is fighting to overcome. Over her last two years of homelessness she has lived many different places on the street, including the damp underground tunnels of downtown Birmingham and the camp she currently shares with two other people. Sharon says she used to blame all her problems on God, but now has a strong faith and is thankful for the blessings in her life. She asks that you pray she will be able to get an apartment with utilities and that she will be able to contact her children. She also asks you to pray she will find relief from the chronic nightmares she suffers from each night.
