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.

Anthony M. - Prayer Candidate 157

Anthony is 50 years old and from Bessemer, Alabama, but he also lived in Gadsden and Blount County for many years. He spent several years employed as a millwright for Alabama Power Company working at both the Gorgas and Wilsonville Steam Plants. Over the years he also worked for a paper company, did some carpentry and electrical work and restored antiques. Anthony became homeless about ten years ago after a divorce. He suffers from clinical depression, memory loss and asthma. He lives in a homeless camp with his best friend Billy who he trusts completely to watch out for him. Anthony is a shy man who is always kind and gentle. He asks you to pray that, “The Holy Spirit will be with me and guide me, and keep my spirits high.”
