The following is a transcript of a personal message from Max.
Hi Guys it’s Max Cross here. You don’t get to hear me speak the devotional very often Suzy does that most of the time. But today’s devotional is a little different. I need to give you some background. I earn my living by being an IT consultant, and God has been good to us over the last fifteen years. We have had some dry times, but we have always managed to get through them with God, and we have learnt lessons from them. Well right now we are in the middle of a dry time, and it has been that way for over four months. Basically Aftershock as you can imagine doesn’t bring in nay income. It is something that we as a family support, and we are happy to support, and we are happy that God is using us to give out these Aftershock devs everyday. But we do now need your prayers, because not only can we not support Aftershock without an income ourselves, but it also makes it interesting to pay the mortgage and such. So I come to you humberley today and ask that you a) will forgive me for this personal appeal. And b) that you will also pray for myself and Suzy, that God will reveal to us his plan in our life’s. That he will bring forward a new contract or source of income that will enable us to do basic things like eat and pay the mortgage. We don’t seek to have big fast cars, what we do want more then anything in our life is to run the race. We want to run the race to get the prize that can only come from God. That is why I read the verse today, because that is a verse that I love to live my life by. So please guys I do ask that you would pray for us. That you would pray specifically for revelation in our life’s as to why this has been going on for so long, what we can do to help, and for an income to appear in the very very near future.
