In 1987, he met his wife, Nathalia Olivarez Teran, and got married on January 28, 1989. There began his task of procreating a healthy family. In 1992, he graduated from high school or preparatory. His first daughter, Blanca Esmeralda Teran, was born in December 1989, then Nehemias Teran in November 1990, Jerusalem Cristal Teran in May 1993, Génesis Celeste Teran in December 1995, and Jonathan David Teran in September 1998. In 2004, working as an electrician, Max had an accident and almost lost his life. The doctors told him that he would not walk. What happened was that two tons of loads pushed him against a wall of a building. But God, who is Almighty by his grace, helped him and soon began to walk and work until today. He dedicated himself to practicing a real estate career. At the same time, he is pastor of a small congregation in Dallas, Texas, since 2000.
