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.

David O. - Prayer Candidate 168

David is 50 years old and grew up raising cows, hogs and guineas on 5 acres in the Shannon/Pleasant Valley area that is the residential part of Hoover, Alabama that we know today as Bluff Park. Tragedy struck David at a young age when he witness his father’s murder and stayed with him as he died in the street. As a result he had to begin working to help support his family at the age of 12. As an adult David worked for many years at Bristol Steel in Bessemer, and now works at construction jobs when they are available. He has been homeless for the past 7-1/2 years and lives in a camp located under the Red Mountain Expressway. He stays there with his friend Mike and his cat “Mr. Night.” His life is “tattooed with memories” of loss and pain that he hopes to overcome.

David suffers from alcohol addiction and high blood pressure. He asks you to pray for his health, his friend Mike who has COPD, his friend Gator who lives nearby and all his other friends on the street. He says, “Knowing people are out there praying for us will help me keep my spirits up.”
