About Us
Isa 2:2 AMPC
2 It shall come to pass in the latter days that the mountain of the Lord's house shall be [firmly] established as the highest of the mountains and shall be exalted above the hills, and all nations shall flow to it.

Sunesis Learning initiative is a multi-faceted mission organization which aims to disciple the world for Christ through inspired education and discipleship aimed at transfiguration and transformation—empowering peoples with the power and presence of the Holy Spirit in the name of Jesus Christ.

It is a diverse and expanding international ministry founded by Dr. Solomon Appiah. It is defined by the biblical mandate of Mat 28:19-20.

Mat 28:19-20 (KJV)
19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

Our ministry motto is:

Equipping and Perfecting Living Stones for the House of God Built Without Hands.

This is taken from 1Pe 2:4-5

1Pe 2:4-5 (AMPC)
4 Come to Him [then, to that] Living Stone which men tried and threw away, but which is chosen [and] precious in God's sight. [Psa 118:22; Isa 28:16]
5 [Come] and, like living stones, be yourselves built [into] a spiritual house, for a holy (dedicated, consecrated) priesthood, to offer up [those] spiritual sacrifices [that are] acceptable and pleasing to God through Jesus Christ.

An Initiative?

To understand the Sunesis Learning Initiative, one must first comprehend what an initiative is. An initiative as per Google’s English dictionary is defined as follows:

initiative

  1. the ability to assess and initiate things independently.

    - "use your initiative, imagination, and common sense"

  2. the power or opportunity to act or take charge before others do.

    - "anti-hunting groups have seized the initiative in the dispute"

  3. an act or strategy intended to resolve a difficulty or improve a situation; a fresh approach to something.

    -"a new initiative against car crime"

  4. (especially in Switzerland and some US states) the right of citizens outside the legislature to originate legislation.

What We Do?

The SUNESIS Learning Initiative, also known as the Ekklēsia Project, offers “the power or opportunity to act or take charge before others do.” It is a divine “act or strategy intended to resolve a difficulty or improve a situation; a fresh approach to something.”


We equip/perfect Living Stones for God’s built without hands!

1Pe 2:4-5 (NIV)
4 As you come to him, the living Stone—rejected by humans but chosen by God and precious to him
5 you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
1Peter 2:4-5 (AMPC)
4 Come to Him [then, to that] Living Stone which men tried and threw away, but which is chosen [and] precious in God's sight. [Psa 118:22; Isa 28:16]
5 [Come] and, like living stones, be yourselves built [into] a spiritual house, for a holy (dedicated, consecrated) priesthood, to offer up [those] spiritual sacrifices [that are] acceptable and pleasing to God through Jesus Christ.
2Co 5:1 (KJV)
1 For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.
Act 7:48 (KJV)
48 Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet
1Peter 2:4-5 (AMPC)
4 Come to Him [then, to that] Living Stone which men tried and threw away, but which is chosen [and] precious in God's sight. [Psa 118:22; Isa 28:16]
5 [Come] and, like living stones, be yourselves built [into] a spiritual house, for a holy (dedicated, consecrated) priesthood, to offer up [those] spiritual sacrifices [that are] acceptable and pleasing to God through Jesus Christ.
2Co 5:1 (KJV)
1 For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.
Act 7:48 (KJV)
48 Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet
(Mat 16:18, KJV).
18 The House of God—is built by God. The Holy Spirit is the Chief Architect of God, and Jesus, who is the Word, is himself God (John 1:1). Jesus told Peter, “And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.”

He never said, “I will cause men to build my house,” but rather, “I [Jesus] will build my Ekklesia.” The word church is correctly translated as the Ekklesia or God’s reigning royal house or God’s royal family. God, therefore, is the builder of His City—Zion and His House within that City. Abraham sought for this city.

Heb 11:10 (KJV)
10 For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.

Though God is the leading builder, He, however, chooses to build His building with the help of those called His co-laborers.

1Co 3:9-11 (KJV)
9 For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building.
10 According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.
11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

Construction requires building blocks and the building blocks are in part recreated new creations in Christ Jesus (new men).

2Co 5:17-21 (KJV)
17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.
20 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

These verses above sum up the genesis, vision and mission of Sunesis Learning Initiative—to equip or perfect the Living Stones (1Peter 2:5) after the image and likeness of the Living Stone (1Peter 2:4). These Stones are laid in Zion as part of God’s building.

How We Do It?

To this end, the Initiative employs a Christ-encompassing, multi-centric, and widespread set of character-forming, capacity-building tools that are Christ-centric, value-laden, and driven. By this, reference is made to the culture and values of the Kingdom of Heaven. Put differently, the Initiative endeavors to renew people in the spirit of their minds—enabling them to put to death the Old Man and put on the New Man with his New Kingdom Culture. This is found in the continuation of the verses already quoted above:

Eph 4:23-25 (KJV)
23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
25 Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.
Rom 12:1-2 (KJV)
1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

A sample of how the Initiative achieves the above is education through in-person teaching seminars, one-on-one mentorship and coaching, a learning management system, videos, print media, social platforms, and all available media.

THE IMPORTANCE OF TRUTH AND ACCURATE KNOWLEDGE

Truth is the unveiled objective reality lying at the basis of and agreeing with an appearance; the manifested, the veritable essence of matter. Truth, verity, reality. The reality pertaining to an appearance (adapted from The Complete Word Study Dictionary).

Accurate knowledge is also important. Many seek knowledge and truth from the media systems of this world rather than from God the Creator. The world’s media outlets have, over time, been strategically consolidated into the hands of a few global actors. This has led to a monopoly of knowledge production, distribution and consumption—to fit a particular narrative. Most of these narratives do not give life but spread misinformation or lies, fear, dissatisfaction etc. because they are connected to the tree of knowledge of good and evil—and not the tree of life. False knowledge from the wrong tree leads to a defeated and frustrated life with occasional highs and many lows. It matters what you ingest. Accurate knowledge [epignosis] leads to life (Zoe)—the very same life Jesus is and has made available to you. This is sometimes referred to as eternal life. What is eternal life?

Joh 17:3(KJV)
And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

It is available to all who will accept it today. This is partly why SLI exists—to contribute to making this knowledge available to all.

1 Jn 2:25(KJV)
And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life.
1Jn 5:11-12,20(KJV)
11And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
12He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
20And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.

GET BORN AGAIN


The most important decision a person will ever make in life is to get born again—reconciliation back to God as a New Creation, different from the former creation. This process has been reduced to solely repeating a prayer while a clergy member leads another in that prayer, and it usually goes like this: “Repeat this prayer after me….” The truth of the matter is that this is not necessarily the scriptural way. So what then is the scriptural way? It is stated in the following verses:

Rom 10:9-10 (KJV)
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

The person seeking salvation or to be reconciled back to God the Father, to become part of the bride of Christ must do two things:

Confess With Thy Mouth The Lord Jesus

The word confess is translated from a Greek word G3670 transliterated as homologeō and defined by Thayer's Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament as “to say the same thing as another, i.e., to agree with, assent.” It means assenting to something. It’s a legal term. It means to agree with or consent to the desire of another”. Now when Jesus died, he overcame death, hell, and the grave and resurrected. God the Father then made him Lord, Master, Owner, etc.— “Therefore [because He stooped so low] God has highly exalted Him and has freely bestowed on Him the name that is above every name, That in (at) the name of Jesus every knee should (must) bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,” (Php 2:9-10, AMPC).

Why would every knee bow?
Because that is what we do before a Lord. When his disciples saw him for the first time after his resurrection, they bowed and worshipped him in his new status as Lord of All—and its implication (Matthew 28:9; John 20:28). To be born again, one must understand these things, and out of the abundance of what they believe in their hearts, their mouths must say the same thing in concert with God— “And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” (Php 2:11, KJV). One must confess his Lordship. This means recognizing that henceforth, you have a new Master and Owner and only live to do His will and not yours. It’s a legal confession and induction of sorts. The second thing is to believe. Believe what?

Believe In Thine Heart That God Hath Raised Him From The Dead

A person seeking life must believe the implication of Jesus being raised from the dead, which is alluded to in v10—which is righteousness or justification, which is better spelled out in the following scriptures.

Rom 4:25 (YLT)
25 who was delivered up because of our offences, and was raised up because of our being declared righteous.

Rom 4:25 (Weymouth)
25 who was surrendered to death because of the offences we had committed, and was raised to life because of the acquittal secured for us.

Rom 5:18 (Weymouth)
18 It follows then that just as the result of a single transgression is a condemnation which extends to the whole race, so also the result of a single decree of righteousness is a life-giving acquittal which extends to the whole race.

So important is believing in the resurrection of Christ and its meaning that Apostle Paul said:

1Co 15:32 (AMPC)
32 If the dead are not raised [at all], let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we will be dead. [Isa 22:13]

Conclusion

BIBLICAL PERSPECTIVES ON WORLD EVENTS


Knowledge production in contemporary times is by and large controlled by few media outlets and families globally, and many have a secular perspective on issues. The Sunesis Learning Initiative examines global events from a biblical perspective and publishes these periodically. Basically, this is about looking at world events through the lens of the holy scriptures and what it teaches.

SLI FOUNDATION


Jesus Christ and the Apostles he commissioned taught us to give to those less fortunate than ourselves, such as children, the sick, hungry, orphans, widows, prisoners—vulnerable groups in society. Obedience to this instruction brings a reward. The Sunesis learning Initiative would appreciate your donations so we can assist those in need.

Mat 25:36-45 (KJV)
36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.

MIND TRUST


The Sunesis Learning Initiative is also a Mind Trust or, more aptly put—a Mind of Christ Trust. The mind of man is hostile to God (Rom 8:7). The mind of Christ or the mind set on the Spirit, however, holds the solutions for all problems across the globe.

1Co 2:16 (KJV)
16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.

Rom 8:6-7 (NASB)
6 For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace,
7 because the mind set on the flesh is hostile toward God; for it does not subject itself to the law of God, for it is not even able to do so

BIBLICAL PERSPECTIVES ON WORLD EVENTS


There is a dearth of a biblical worldview. Barna has tracked beliefs that make up a “biblical worldview” since 1995. They are recognized by many as a good Christian research outfit. The following are some reports across the years based on their research:

  • Competing Worldviews Influence Today's Christians
  • New Study Shows Shocking Lack of Biblical Worldview
  • Barna: Biblical worldview held by only 4% of adults have a biblical worldview
  • Barna: Only 2% of Parents of American Preteens Have Biblical Worldview
  • The Decline of a Biblical Worldview in the Pulpit and Pew

Dr. George Barna wrote, "A new nationwide survey among a representative sample of America's Christian pastors shows that a large majority of those pastors do not possess a biblical worldview. In fact, just slightly more than a third (37%) have a biblical worldview and the majority (62%) possess a hybrid worldview known as Syncretism." A 2020 Barna research found this, "Among the 180 million adults who say they are Christian, less than one out of 10 (9%) has a biblical worldview. “Born again” Christians are one-third of the population (33%). These people were not identified as such by self-identification, but by claiming to be Christian and to believe that they will experience Heaven after they die solely because they have confessed their sins and accepted Jesus Christ as their savior. Although this group is often described as the “backbone” of the Christian Church, less than one out of five of them had a biblical worldview (19%) – a figure that was low but triple the national average (6%)."

Why is there such a dearth of a biblical worldview?

There are several reasons. Let us consider just a couple. First is that the process of knowledge production and dissemination is concentrated in the hands of a few who are not lovers of the God of the Bible or His ways. Universities and their curricula have been influenced by funding from some of these actors.

Another reason is the derogation of the Gift of the Teachers in the body of Christ—forgetting that Jesus himself was called Teacher. In Ephesians 4:8, we see that “When Jesus ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.” (Eph 4:8). What were the gifts? They are stated in verse 11. Verse 10 speaks of the ascension part of verse 8, and verse 11 speaks of the Gifts he gave. What Gifts did he give? “And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;” (Eph 4:11, KJV). The current generation seems to have magnified some Gifts and marginalised others. Everyone seems to want to be identified as an Apostle or Prophet, but not many choose to be identified solely as Teachers. Only God knows the actual reason for this marginalization of some of His Gifts. I have yet to see a billboard or poster where the person speaking at the Christian event was identified solely as a Teacher. The more common identities are Apostle, Prophet, Pastor and the occasional Evangelist. Teacher is rarely seen or used, e.g. Teacher Paul. Pastor Paul or Prophet Paul is rather what seems familiar, but as we approach the end of the age, this will change. There will be balance, and each Gift will supply what the body needs.

And yet the body needs all five Gifts to have a balanced biblical worldview. The work of verse 12 is to be done by all five Gifts. Each has a part to contribute.

A dearth of teaching based on a biblical worldview has led to a situation where in a nation that boasts of being a Christian nation, the percentage of adults and even clergy with a biblical worldview is quite unsettling.

This is one of the reasons for the existence of the Sunesis Learning Initiative. The Holy Scriptures state, "For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.” (1Co 13:9, KJV). SLI has a part to contribute to a wholistic biblical worldview, and for that reason has she been sent for such a time as this. The Sunesis Learning Initiative examines global events from a biblical perspective and publishes these periodically in blogs, newsletters and other fora.

MIND TRUST


The Sunesis Learning Initiative is also a Mind Trust or, more aptly put—a Mind of Christ Trust. The mind of man is hostile to God (Rom 8:7). The mind of Christ or the mind set on the Spirit, however, holds the solutions for all problems across the globe.

1Co 2:16 (KJV)
16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.

Rom 8:6-7 (NASB)
6 For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace,
7 because the mind set on the flesh is hostile toward God; for it does not subject itself to the law of God, for it is not even able to do so

The Lord God’s Ekklesia is not a religious entity but a colonizing force like yeast permeating the dough with the life and nature of the Creator of Heaven and Earth. The Ekklesia is God’s family—made up of his offspring hence a royal family of priests—royal priesthood.
