Ajith & Sarah Sunker

Mike and Renu Sunker, were the foundational pillars of the Christ Church Christian Care Centre in Johannesburg, South Africa. Their vision was to offer more than just physical support; they aimed to provide holistic care that encompassed educational, emotional, and spiritual growth. In July 2000, this vision took a concrete shape when a property in Hillbrow’s Berea section was acquired, offering a safe haven for children.

Following Mike Sunker’s passing in April 2021, his son Ajith Sunker took over as CEO. Ajith, having grown up assisting his father, continues the legacy alongside his wife Sarah Sunker, the Managing Director. Together, they lead the Centre with dedication and a deep understanding of its mission and vision.

The Centre aims to demonstrate the love and compassion of Jesus in a practical way to the homeless, destitute, & needy by creating a self-sustainable children’s home in order to provide a decent home for aids orphans, children from both dysfunctional homes & the streets, and for post matriculants. They have 64 children in their care with all the school age children attending school. The children’s home is also a platform from where the church can present the gospel & reach out to the local community offering both physical and spiritual help. Their ministries include: providing a home for babies, toddlers, & teens; Bible teaching & counseling; a weekly lunch-time service & soup kitchen for street children; a worship service on Sunday’s; and an HIV Aids ministry.
