John and Esther (Keller) Shrader
John Shrader (a/k/a The World's Worst Missionary) moved his wife, Esther, and their evergrowing brood to Zambia to convert Christians to the "right" brand of Christianity.
Before moving to Zambia, the Shraders lived in a pop-up camper while on deputation. They relied on the kindness of various churches, as well. John grifted money for a plane (sight unseen already located in Zambia) and flying lessons.
Since moving to Zambia he has grifted an amazing amount of money and items for his "ministry." He has converted approximately 2 people in the 5 or so years he's been there.
The Shrader's quality of life is far above what they had in the US. They have all the necessities: an actual house, a fridge with an icemaker, and a supply of sunflower seeds and beef jerky.
Join us as we chronicle John's misadventures in deepest darkest sub-Saharan Africa.

Guess I should update again? Frieda (Kiki, we renamed her) is here since the end of February 2021. She came with a bunch of problems, but is the best dog ever and is doing better every day. But we do now know how a dog with ptsd looks like. For real, not joking. If she is triggered during the day, she wakes up screaming at night. Not like dogs dream, but literally screaming. Other than that she went with us on countless trips, loves hiking and even cable cars. She is one heck of a fearless dog in situations who do not remind her of her old life.· 1 reply
My Grandpa passed away last May and I'm still grieving a lot. After sharing a house with my grandparents for over 30 years it is just horrible to lose one of them. Even though it was his decision and he got to go like he wanted. At home, in his bed during the night without doctors. He would have need more care and he did not want more care. So after turning 90 he decided to let go and became weaker and weaker.
In other news my dad stops working for good on April 1st. Retirement time. Keep my Mum and myself in your prayers. We really do not want him at home all the time. Haha!

I don't always make good decisions for myself due to severe depression but I did today actively decide not to do something that might have been detrimental for me and am very proud of myself.· 1 reply

Well, this is weird. At some point, recently, I broke my wrist. I had to get a Dexa-scan today (put it off for years) and along with some bone loss, damn I had it a few minutes ago… the results said, “Fracture risk is moderate, and the patient has a significant wrist fracture. Treatment is advised.” my left wrist aches a little but not near as much as my back, feet, knees or fingers, damn RA. I have no idea how it happened. I haven’t fallen in 2 years, haven’t banged or bumped… the dr will call tomorrow and we’ll get this straightened out.· 2 replies
