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.

Michael T. J. -- Prayer Candidate 176

Michael T. is 52 years old and originally from Birmingham, Alabama. As a young man he joined the US Army and served from 1978-1985 in Germany as well as Ft. Riley, Kansas. After the service Michael lived in Little Rock, Arkansas, for 6 years where he worked as a floor tech at the VA Hospital. When he moved back to Birmingham he worked in maintenance at Brookwood Hospital and part-time as a shelf stocker for Piggly Wiggly.

Michael became homeless after a traumatic brain injury he sustained when he was hit by a car. He has cognitive brain damage, which effects his memory and ability to organize his life. Michael has been homeless in downtown Birmingham for several years and receives a small disability income which is not enough to sustain an apartment and pay for utilities. He stays at area shelters or with whomever will take him in for a short time, and sometimes he must stay on the street. Michael is a quiet, shy person who has a joyful sparkle in his eye and a kind gentle spirit.

Michael seeks your support in prayer. He has nerve damage in his right arm that limits its’ use and he struggles with his memory. Michael has a strong desire to help others that cannot help themselves and he hopes to be used by the Lord to lead others in a way that they can come to know his love. He asks you to pray for him as he continues to try and find his way.
