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.

Grady C. - Prayer Candidate 152

Grady is 43 years old and grew up in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Grady became homeless a few years ago after his mother passed away. Like many homeless people, Grady has a regular job. He works at a downtown seafood restaurant as a maintenance man. His earnings won’t support living in an apartment on his own, so Grady lives alone at his camp in the woods. Unlike most homeless people, Grady does receive health insurance at his job. This is a huge blessing because he is scheduled to undergo open heart surgery at Druid City Hospital near Tuscaloosa during the first week of February 2010. He has nerve damage to his heart that is causing gradual paralysis in his right hand and leg. He is grateful to his mother’s doctor who has made this surgery possible and has arranged for him to recover briefly in a local nursing home in the Tuscaloosa area. Grady asks you to pray that he will be able to return to work after the surgery and that he will get his health back.

Update:  Grady thanks God for your prayers and the miracle of his healing. When the doctors ran several diagnostic tests prior to his surgery last week, they discovered the damage to his heart had been reversed and he has regained full use of his right hand and leg. The doctors canceled the surgery and dismissed him. In addition to that, the medical personell that were helping Grady get the surgery have begun to work on getting an apartment for him in Tuscaloosa, and his employer promises to transfer his job to their Tuscaloosa location if the housing comes through. Please continue your prayer for Grady's care and housing.
