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.

Shannon H. -- Prayer Candidate 177

Shannon is 33 years old and originally from Ohio, but has lived the last several years of her life in Jasper, Alabama. She became homeless in September of 2009 when her husband, a US Army veteran died. Shannon is disabled and suffers from asthma, fibromyalgia, bi-polar disorder and migraine headaches. She spent most of this past winter living in an abandoned hotel building in downtown Birmingham with other homeless friends. She has recently received Social Security disability status which means she can now afford to stay in a motel part of the time and stays back on the street when she runs out of money. She has a friend who is homeless who stays with her and looks after her.

Shannon suffered for years as a domestic violence victim and is celebrating the fact that although she is homeless, she is very happy to be living free of physical abuse. Shannon is in need of healing from the severe pain and psychological damage she has sustained as a domestic violence victim. In spite of her trials and the fact that she has many mental challenges, Shannon has a wonderful warm heart and reaches out to comfort other homeless women she meets. She is very quick to make friends on the street and pray for others.

Shannon has two children ages 11 and 13 who are living with their grandfather in Clearwater, Florida. She asks that you pray for her health and that she will one day be re-united with her children. She also asks you to pray she and her friend will be able to get an apartment to live in.
