1
00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:09,360
<i>Every year, one man boards a plane
with a suitcase full of supplies</i>

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

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

4
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:15,637
<i>A city that changed his life</i>

5
00:00:16,147 --> 00:00:18,115
<i>and where his mission still lives on.</i>

6
00:00:18,655 --> 00:00:21,855
<i>Dr. Milan Moskala
first came to Bangladesh</i>

7
00:00:21,855 --> 00:00:25,395
<i>as a missionary dentist
more than 25 years ago.</i>

8
00:00:25,935 --> 00:00:31,020
<i>But God had planted a seed in his heart
long before he ever stepped foot here.</i>

9
00:00:31,340 --> 00:00:35,200
I discovered God called me
to be medical missionary.

10
00:00:35,580 --> 00:00:37,793
I am thankful very much.

11
00:00:38,300 --> 00:00:41,100
Always I thank the Lord,
I am so grateful

12
00:00:41,100 --> 00:00:43,761
that you chose me
to be a medical missionary.

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

14
00:00:45,365 --> 00:00:47,195
<i>Dr. Moskala built a ministry</i>

15
00:00:47,195 --> 00:00:50,505
<i>that reached far beyond
the walls of his dental clinic.</i>

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

17
00:00:53,470 --> 00:00:56,018
<i>started schools
in under served communities,</i>

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

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

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

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

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

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

24
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:22,980
<i>Though now retired for 10 years,</i>

25
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:27,220
<i>Dr. Moskala returns to Bangladesh
every year to reconnect,</i>

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 though I am now retired.

34
00:01:56,930 --> 00:02:00,850
He is guiding me forward, day by day.

35
00:02:00,850 --> 00:02:06,385
I do not want to do nothing more,
nothing less than medical mission.

36
00:02:07,075 --> 00:02:09,495
<i>Because of your giving
to the Mission Offering,</i>

37
00:02:09,955 --> 00:02:15,015
<i>missionaries like Dr. Moskala can serve
in places where they are needed most.</i>

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

39
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:21,030
<i>Your support makes stories like this
possible</i>

40
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,220
<i>in Bangladesh and around the world.</i>

41
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:30,950
I am so thankful that God chose me
and called me to be a missionary.
