1
00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:08,980
Every year, one man boards a plane
with a suitcase full of supplies

2
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:11,060
and a heart full of purpose.

3
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:12,820
His destination?

4
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:18,195
A city that changed his life
and where his mission still lives on.

5
00:00:18,655 --> 00:00:21,635
Dr. Milan Moskala
first came to Bangladesh

6
00:00:21,855 --> 00:00:25,395
as a missionary dentist
more than 25 years ago.

7
00:00:25,935 --> 00:00:31,020
But God had planted a seed in his heart
long before he ever stepped foot here.

8
00:00:31,340 --> 00:00:35,200
I discovered God called me
to be medical missionary.

9
00:00:35,580 --> 00:00:38,000
And this is a reason why
I am thankful very much always.

10
00:00:38,300 --> 00:00:40,100
Always I thank the Lord.

11
00:00:40,100 --> 00:00:41,100
I am so grateful

12
00:00:41,100 --> 00:00:43,520
that He chose me
to be a medical missionary.

13
00:00:44,325 --> 00:00:45,365
Over the years,

14
00:00:45,365 --> 00:00:47,305
Dr. Moskala built a ministry

15
00:00:47,365 --> 00:00:50,505
that reached far beyond
the walls of his dental clinic.

16
00:00:51,205 --> 00:00:53,470
He treated patients
with compassion,

17
00:00:53,470 --> 00:00:56,540
started schools
in underserved communities,

18
00:00:56,540 --> 00:01:01,040
and launched nutrition programs
to help children grow strong and healthy.

19
00:01:01,580 --> 00:01:04,420
He also organized a sponsorship network

20
00:01:04,420 --> 00:01:06,039
that gave thousands of young people

21
00:01:06,039 --> 00:01:10,555
access to Adventist education
and a new vision for their future.

22
00:01:11,175 --> 00:01:16,395
What started with caring for physical
needs quickly grew into something more,

23
00:01:16,775 --> 00:01:20,155
a life of service, compassion, and faith.

24
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:22,980
Though now retired for ten years,

25
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:27,220
Doctor. Mascala returns to
Bangladesh every year to reconnect,

26
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:31,860
to support, and to keep building on
the mission he started years ago.

27
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:35,060
He continues to mentor local leaders,

28
00:01:35,445 --> 00:01:39,385
visit students, and walk through the
neighborhoods praying with families,

29
00:01:39,845 --> 00:01:41,065
encouraging the sick,

30
00:01:41,285 --> 00:01:44,105
and sharing hope one home at a time.

31
00:01:44,565 --> 00:01:49,305
For him, retirement simply
means having more time to serve.

32
00:01:50,130 --> 00:01:54,630
I am so thankful that until
today, I can serve him.

33
00:01:55,170 --> 00:01:56,710
Even I am now retired,

34
00:01:56,930 --> 00:02:00,790
but he is guiding me forward day by day.

35
00:02:00,850 --> 00:02:03,510
I do not want to do nothing more,

36
00:02:03,875 --> 00:02:09,495
nothing less than medical mission. Because
of your giving to the mission offering,

37
00:02:09,955 --> 00:02:15,015
missionaries like doctor Muscala can serve
in places where they are needed most.

38
00:02:15,795 --> 00:02:17,015
Thank you for giving.

39
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:19,500
Your support makes stories

40
00:02:19,640 --> 00:02:24,220
like this possible in
Bangladesh and around the world.

41
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:30,780
And I am so thankful that God has chosen
me and called me to be missionaries.
