Every year, one man boards a plane[br]with a suitcase full of supplies
0:00:09.360,0:00:11.060
and a heart full of purpose.
0:00:11.760,0:00:12.820
His destination?
0:00:13.360,0:00:15.637
A city that changed his life
0:00:16.147,0:00:18.115
and where his mission still lives on.
0:00:18.655,0:00:21.855
Dr. Milan Moskala[br]first came to Bangladesh
0:00:21.855,0:00:25.395
as a missionary dentist[br]more than 25 years ago.
0:00:25.935,0:00:31.020
But God had planted a seed in his heart[br]long before he ever stepped foot here.
0:00:31.340,0:00:35.200
I discovered God called me[br]to be medical missionary.
0:00:35.580,0:00:37.793
I am thankful very much.
0:00:38.300,0:00:41.100
Always I thank the Lord,[br]I am so grateful
0:00:41.100,0:00:43.761
that you chose me[br]to be a medical missionary.
0:00:44.325,0:00:45.365
Over the years,
0:00:45.365,0:00:47.195
Dr. Moskala built a ministry
0:00:47.195,0:00:50.505
that reached far beyond[br]the walls of his dental clinic.
0:00:51.205,0:00:53.470
He treated patients[br]with compassion,
0:00:53.470,0:00:56.018
started schools[br]in under served communities,
0:00:56.540,0:01:01.040
and launched nutrition programs[br]to help children grow strong and healthy.
0:01:01.580,0:01:04.420
He also organized a sponsorship network
0:01:04.420,0:01:06.039
that gave thousands of young people
0:01:06.039,0:01:10.555
access to Adventist education[br]and a new vision for their future.
0:01:11.175,0:01:16.395
What started with caring for physical[br]needs quickly grew into something more,
0:01:16.775,0:01:20.155
a life of service, compassion, and faith.
0:01:20.880,0:01:22.980
Though now retired for 10 years,
0:01:23.200,0:01:27.220
Dr. Moskala returns to Bangladesh[br]every year to reconnect,
0:01:27.600,0:01:31.860
to support, and to keep building on[br]the mission he started years ago.
0:01:32.480,0:01:35.060
He continues to mentor local leaders,
0:01:35.445,0:01:39.385
visit students, and walk through[br]the neighborhoods praying with families,
0:01:39.845,0:01:41.065
encouraging the sick,
0:01:41.285,0:01:44.105
and sharing hope one home at a time.
0:01:44.565,0:01:49.305
For him, retirement simply[br]means having more time to serve.
0:01:50.130,0:01:54.630
I am so thankful that until today,[br]I can serve Him
0:01:55.170,0:01:56.710
even though I am now retired.
0:01:56.930,0:02:00.850
He is guiding me forward, day by day.
0:02:00.850,0:02:06.385
I do not want to do nothing more,[br]nothing less than medical mission.
0:02:07.075,0:02:09.495
Because of your giving[br]to the Mission Offering,
0:02:09.955,0:02:15.015
missionaries like Dr. Moskala can serve[br]in places where they are needed most.
0:02:15.795,0:02:17.015
Thank you for giving.
0:02:17.720,0:02:21.030
Your support makes stories like this[br]possible
0:02:21.680,0:02:24.220
in Bangladesh and around the world.
0:02:24.520,0:02:30.950
I am so thankful that God chose me[br]and called me to be a missionary.
