text: Faro, Ingrid - The Blythe Daniel Agency
  Faro began her career as a dietitian/nutritionist in hospitals, community action agencies, clinics and a university. After that, she managed health insurance agencies that she had started in order to serve small businesses and individuals. Faro's first husband, training to be a pastor, while admitting to infidelity, refused to admit his violence and their marriage ended in divorce.
  Faro, as a divorced woman, felt and was told by some that she was disqualified to ever serve in ministry. She threw herself into building her businesses. She loved God. But she felt alienated from Him and from His people.
  Faro remarried, and she and her new husband joined a church with a kind and biblically solid pastor. Healing began. Faro and her husband had a son. Life was good. Then, when her son was 2 years old, her husband became ill due to medical malpractice. The next nine years, his health continued to deteriorate. Faro's days were filled with trying to deal with his pain, surgeries, and visits to the ER.
  During her season of crying out to God, Faro sensed His clear call to go to seminary. Faro had questions. And Faro knew the Lord was telling her to seek answers from His Word from digging in the Greek and the Hebrew. It was an invitation to wrestle with God and herself about life, pain, suffering, and purpose. Faro's husband encouraged her studies. However, when Faro's son was 11 years old, her husband gave up, and took his own life.
  Faro determined to finish her studies. After years of hard work, Faro graduated from Trinity International Divinity School, Deerfield, Illinois, with a PhD in Theology, concentration in the Old Testament. She accepted her first position with the Scandinavian School of Theology, Uppsala, Sweden where she worked as Associate Professor of Old Testament.
