Amid of crisis, due to the global pandemic of COVID-19- many pastors and leaders are making extraordinary and prophetic claims about what God is doing and why the plague has come upon us. Churches are struggling to make sense of the new realities of not meeting together to worship and fellowship. In such a time, one needs to know how to interpret the Bible, as well as global and local situations. The heart of the Bible is the covenant of God, who has a mission in the world, and the church is his primary agency- like an embassy speaking on his behalf to the world.
Rev. Arbin Pokharel President
Word from the Chairman
Theological education is urgently needed in Nepal. In a country, where there's a massive need for basic education, theological education is a distant cry. Watching church history unfold in front of our eyes, it is clear, that God is active in making himself real; thousands of people are turning to him every year. While churches grow far and wide, leaders for the churches have not been proportionately raised. While God is invisible, and anyone standing up to preach the gospel explaining the Bible, and start a church can claim to be a pastor. Question is, how does one qualify to become a pastor? What should be different in standards and criteria for one to become a Christian leader?
This issue of Restorers addresses such particular needs of the Nepali Church- why theological education is urgently needed for pastors and Christian leaders to engage society in the crisis and the context of change. They have a calling as a prophet to understand God and his desire for the world rightly, and then engage the world without self-serving intentions. They must declare "God is sovereign" and "Christ is Lord," over every circumstance, and help people make sense of the world God created; how it is fallen, and how Christ is redeeming it, and bring the hope of the resurrection into their present context. It is not to simply look for opportunities for self-advertisement and personal gain.
NT Wright in his book, God and the Pandemic claims that our duty as Christians in times such as this is to lament with the sick, dying, and grieving. And from lament, prepare for fresh actions. He says, “the call to Jesus’ followers is to be sign-producers for God’s kingdom…actions, symbols, not just words, which speak of new creation: of healing for the sick, of food for the hungry” (Wright 2020, 64). This is the duty of genuine Body of Christ, here and now, until Jesus comes back to set everything straight.
An Urgent Call for NepalEducationTheologicalin

The vision of Restorers magazine is to inform and equip pastoral leaders of Nepali Churches with the theological framework that understands God as he has revealed himself through Scripture and understand the world and its cultures to speak into the hearts and minds of those who believe in Jesus Christ by the means of a local church. My prayer is that pastors of Nepali churches as leaders of invest in a life learning theology, and genuinely engage the church as the Body of Christ.

Faculty: The Hidden Curriculum TheologicalofInstitution
The character of the teachers of the Scripture depends on their calling and commitment, and morality, and love for their profession. Thus, firstly this section will discuss the calling and commitment of the teachers of the Scripture. And secondly, it will discuss the morality and love for their profession as the teachers of the Scripture.
As the teachers of the Scripture, we are called to know, profess, practice, and then commit to teaching the truth from the Scripture and through our lives. It is vital to understand first our calling as a teacher of the Scripture. Precisely, the love for the divine author of the Scripture and his Words authenticate your calling and commitment as a teacher of the Scripture. The love for the divine author of the Scripture and His Words depends on how much you know him and his Words personally.
Even, Jesus told to the teachers of the Scripture that “Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you hypocrites; as it is written: These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. They worship me in vain; their teachings are merely human rules” (Mark 7:6-7). Indeed, what we can observe from this statement of Jesus is that they love their profession as a teacher of the Scripture but they have forgotten to love the divine author of the Scripture and his Words in the Scripture; and they twisted his Words into their own selfish human rules to please themselves and to judge others.
Ms. Menuka Mishra
The commitment of the teachers of the Scripture to teach the truth depends on how personally you know God, profess his faith in God and his Words, and follow and live according to God’s Word to inspire and influence your pupil. For instance, Jesus Christ as a teacher taught the Scripture with authority not like the Pharisees and the teacher of the law (Mark 1:21-22, 27) because he knew personally his Father, his Words, followed and lived according to his Father's Words until his ascension and he became one of the inspirational and influential teachers for his disciples and his followers of all ages. Thus, the calling and commitment of the faculty are vital for their character as a teacher of the Scripture.
Introduction This article is about faculty should be one of the hidden curriculums of the Theological institution because they are the example of leadership for their local churches and communities. For three years of our ATA and GATE Faculty Workshop, this topic has been emphasizing more because theological seminaries and colleges are failing to produce authentic character leaders for the local churches and communities in the past years (ATA and GATE Faculty Workshop, 2018-2020). As Glenn Geher said that “the future of this Nation depends on teachers” (Geher, 2017). So, this article wanted to focus on the future of our local churches and communities depends on theological seminaries and colleges teaching faculty. Indeed, theological institution plays a vital role to generate future qualified pastor, leaders, and educators for our local churches and communities. Thus, the purpose of this article is to comprehend the importance of recruiting qualified faculty for the theological seminary equally in their character and educational profession. Precisely, this article is limited in two areas the character and educational professions of the faculty. And finally, the conclusion will follow with the implication for seminaries in Nepal and beyond to recruit qualified faculty both in character and educational profession for the training of future pastors, leaders, and educators for their local churches and communities.

Calling and Commitment
The Character of the Teachers of the Scripture
Academic and Spiritual Qualification
An academic (theologically competent) and a spiritual qualification of the faculty is essential for the healthy development of their pupil’s theological knowledge to comprehend academically and to internalize it spiritually. Firstly, this process should be proceeded from the teaching faculty himself/ herself by showing their academic qualifications –earned degrees and specializations in a particular area of teachings, the confidence in their area of teaching, preparedness in their subject matters, clear in their expositions of the subject matters, and extra knowledgeable in their area of teachings to inspire and influence the pupils beyond majors by providing them resources to think, analyze and explore more for further learnings. Besides these, the faculty should follow the time management strictly for the wellbeing of himself and his pupil.
Faculty: Holistic Educational Professionals
23
The twenty-first-century theological education system is adopting the model which claims that faculty should be the hidden curriculum of the Theological Institutions. This article has proposed that the hidden curriculum needed to include adequate learning in four areas of their life: academic, spiritual, physical, and social; to develop them holistically for their future ministry. Thus, the Theological Institutions have a responsibility for the holistic development of future pastors, leaders, and educators for being a hidden curriculum for them.
And secondly, by showing the spiritual discipline of faculty through their way of living – spending time with God in prayer and meditation of the Scripture personally, investing time in the spiritual formation of their pupils by being with them in their daily prayer and devotion time, showing compassion and pastoral care in their difficult times, learning and practicing patience and humbleness in their problems, and equipping them for their present
Morality and Love for the Profession
The morally qualified and love for their profession as the teachers of the Scripture is vital and in high demand of the twenty-first century Theological Institutions. Often, the local churches are looking for “Theological Institutions” to produce their future authentic character, theologically competent, and ministry-minded pastors, leaders, and educator who loves their local churches and communities unconditionally. As Geher said that “the future of this Nation depends on teachers” (Geher, 2017). So, this article wanted to focus on the future of our local churches and communities depends on theological seminaries and colleges teaching faculty. Thus, the statement "Faculty as a Curriculum" is an important and crucial issue to deal with. The moral and ethical character of the teaching faculty is important because they are the mirror and reflection of the future moral pastors, leaders, and educators of our local churches and communities. However, reluctantly we are failing in this area as per GATE seminar observations and evaluations. Thus, it is important to recruit morally and ethically qualified faculty for the Theological Seminary and Colleges. The following are proposed for the moral and ethical qualifications of the teaching faculty learned from Jesus Christ and prescribed by the apostles in the Scripture: the individual who have the reputations and honor in and outside of their local churches and communities (1Tim. 3:7, 11; 2 Tim. 2:15-17; Titus 1:69), who loves the church (Matt. 16:18; John 21:1517; Acts 2:42-47), who pray, read and meditate the Scripture daily (Acts 2:42; 5:42; 6:2,4; ), who preach, teach and live according to the Scripture (Acts 2:4142; ), and who involve in local church ministry in various capacities, such as the pastor, elder, leader, educator (for adult, youth and children), etc. Our Lord Jesus Christ became the best model of moral and ethical character teacher who loved his profession (mission) to build his church through his disciples and followers (Matt. 16:18; John 21:15-17); and his disciples or apostles took that profession (mission) after his ascension mentioned in the book of Acts and all the Epistles in the New Testament as the role model for the upcoming generation of the local churches. Thus, the apostles always emphasize their local churches to imitate them because they are imitating Jesus Christ in all the sphere of their lives (1 Cor. 11:1; 4:16; Eph. 5:1-2; Phil. 3:17; 1Thess. 1:6). So, the teaching faculty should be the role model to be imitated or followed by his pupils to partake or collaborate in the mission of Christ to build His church (Matt. 16:18; John 17:1-26; 21: 1517) for that calling and commitment, and morality and love for their profession as a teaching faculty of Theological Seminaries and colleges matters.
Conclusion This article has motivated the Theological Institutes, Seminaries, and Colleges to wait, pray, and look for a qualified faculty as a hidden curriculum to train and reproduce future pastors, leaders, and educators for our local churches and communities in the likeness of Christ Jesus. Likewise, the local churches have also responsibilities to recommend and send prospective future pastors, leaders, and educators to be trained in the Theological institutes, seminaries, and colleges who have the qualified faculty in character and educational professions for the holistic development. Thus, this article would like to challenge the Theological Institutions to recruit qualified faculty in character and educational profession for healthy growth and development of the local churches and communities because the qualified faculty is the mirror and reflection of leadership for the future local churches and communities. Therefore, the future of the local churches and communities depends on Theological Institutions and their hidden curriculum (qualified faculty in character and educational profession).

The physical and social development of the pupil is equally necessary as the academic and spiritual for holistic development. Indeed, this article has mentioned that faculty is the mirror and reflection of our future pastors, leaders, and educators. Thus, it is vital to be a role model for our pupils by teaching them physically and socially by sharing, building, and mentoring. Firstly, sharing our past experiences and living in present by doing and learning with our students. The well-known English proverbs say that “the best teacher is the experience.” So, as a teacher, we need to bring our past experiences in our teaching lessons for students to teach them confidently. And living in a present by doing and learning together with students motivate and influence them to follow the footsteps of their teachers. Secondly, building healthy relationships and creating healthy boundaries with students is vital because this will help teachers and students to know themselves personally. Specifically, teachers will be benefited to develop them holistically inspite of their weaknesses in some areas. However, being a teacher need to be wise in keeping healthy boundaries also with students for their personal growth and benefit in-order to discipline them (for needed time) and not to take any advantages from teachers. Finally, mentoring them to relying on future uncertain ministry by planning, praying, and trusting God completely. Mentoring is a crucial part of any Theological education system. So, every teaching faculty should be a good mentor for their students, and students may also learn to be a mentor. As we are the teachers of Theological seminaries, institutions, and collages then mentoring future pastors, leaders, and educators is our responsibility to guide them in the ways of the Lord. Specifically, to mentor them for their seen or unseen future uncertain ministry by motivating them to plan, pray and trust God for everything while they are physically present in the seminary because sometimes students are confused and tend to fall away from their vision and mission of their seminary and their sending (local) churches. Thus, mentoring helps them to keep their focus on the Lord Jesus Christ and His mission to love the church which is also the vision and mission of the seminary and their local churches.
24 and future ministry by teaching in the classes and practicing it by actively participating in the local church and its ministry.
