While in prayer the Lord showed her a place where they could live, heal, grow, and learn. A place with large grass yards, farm animals, a barn for learning and a barn for worship nights. A safe place where they could grow into healthy and whole individuals. And the opportunity to know Jesus through caring people. .
Our Story
The Beginning
The story of The Sunday Farm Children’s Home is best described as a redemptive story of a Father caring for His wounded daughter, restoring her life—and through her, creating safe homes where other trauma-impacted children can encounter Him through caring people, be healed, and be made whole. And it all began through prayer and fasting.
Our Founder, Ales, experienced sexual molestation at just seven years old. That one incident sent her into years of confusion, broken identity, depression, addiction, and deep pain. For much of her life, she lived as a reflection of that trauma rather than the person God created her to be. In her twenties, Ales found herself caught in cycles of the trauma until 2020, when her father became seriously ill. She turned back to Jesus and prayed for her father’s healing, and God answered. But God didn’t stop there. He began restoring what years of trauma had stolen from her.
Five years later, Ales stands healed and whole—freed from pain she once believed would define her forever caused by molestation and assault. During her healing journey, she came across an article about an eleven-year-old who assaulted an six-year-old. That story broke her heart and ignited a holy fire within her.
From that moment, The Sunday Farm Children’s Home was placed in her heart. The Sunday Farm exists to provide Christ-centered, specialized care for children from birth to 14 who are recovering from sexual abuse, sexual assault, or neglect. “Sunday” represents that new beginning; “Farm” represents the steady growth. Because healing isn’t rushed; it is cultivated with patience, love, and care.
Here, love is planted and healing takes root. Our vision is to see trauma impacted children grow healthy and whole through the love of Jesus in caring adults. We don’t force faith, we simply show the love of Jesus through how we consistently and intentionally care for every child that comes into our care.
We also walk alongside parents and caregivers who are navigating the pain of discovering their child has been harmed. No parent should walk that road alone. Raising a child in the way they should go or walking alongside a family who’s stewarding a healing child isn’t a job done by one person. It takes a community: a family.
Thank you for taking the time to read our story and learn about the heart behind The Sunday Farm Children’s Home. Together, we get to be the hands and feet of Jesus—creating safe places, restoring broken stories, and believing that every child’s story can be rewritten. Because when one child becomes healed and whole, the world is changed.
