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.

Henry S. - Prayer Candidate 154


Henry is 50 years old and grew up in Birmingham, Alabama. He spent six years on active duty in the US Army where he served as a sergeant in Germany, working in fuel delivery. During his service in Germany Henry’s feet were frostbitten and they cause him constant difficulty. There is some risk that they could eventually have to be amputated. After leaving the military he spent some time working as a truck driver and then as a care giver to the elderly. Henry became homeless after losing a job a few years ago. He has spent the last year sleeping in an abandoned car at night. He has multiple health problems including cardio-pulmonary disease, extremely high blood pressure and a shoulder injury which needs surgery. Henry has several prayer requests including prayer for his son, prayer that he will be able to get his veteran’s benefits, prayer for all homeless people and prayer for all who suffer from addiction.
