00:00:04.320 --> 00:00:09.360
<i>Every year, one man boards a plane
with a suitcase full of supplies</i>

00:00:09.360 --> 00:00:11.060
<i>and a heart full of purpose.</i>

00:00:11.760 --> 00:00:12.820
<i>His destination?</i>

00:00:13.360 --> 00:00:15.637
<i>A city that changed his life</i>

00:00:16.147 --> 00:00:18.115
<i>and where his mission still lives on.</i>

00:00:18.655 --> 00:00:21.855
<i>Dr. Milan Moskala
first came to Bangladesh</i>

00:00:21.855 --> 00:00:25.395
<i>as a missionary dentist
more than 25 years ago.</i>

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>

00:00:31.340 --> 00:00:35.200
I discovered God called me
to be medical missionary.

00:00:35.580 --> 00:00:37.793
I am thankful very much.

00:00:38.300 --> 00:00:41.100
Always I thank the Lord,
I am so grateful

00:00:41.100 --> 00:00:43.761
that you chose me
to be a medical missionary.

00:00:44.325 --> 00:00:45.365
<i>Over the years,</i>

00:00:45.365 --> 00:00:47.195
<i>Dr. Moskala built a ministry</i>

00:00:47.195 --> 00:00:50.505
<i>that reached far beyond
the walls of his dental clinic.</i>

00:00:51.205 --> 00:00:53.470
<i>He treated patients
with compassion,</i>

00:00:53.470 --> 00:00:56.018
<i>started schools
in under served communities,</i>

00:00:56.540 --> 00:01:01.040
<i>and launched nutrition programs
to help children grow strong and healthy.</i>

00:01:01.580 --> 00:01:04.420
<i>He also organized a sponsorship network</i>

00:01:04.420 --> 00:01:06.039
<i>that gave thousands of young people</i>

00:01:06.039 --> 00:01:10.555
<i>access to Adventist education
and a new vision for their future.</i>

00:01:11.175 --> 00:01:16.395
<i>What started with caring for physical
needs quickly grew into something more,</i>

00:01:16.775 --> 00:01:20.155
<i>a life of service, compassion, and faith.</i>

00:01:20.880 --> 00:01:22.980
<i>Though now retired for 10 years,</i>

00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:27.220
<i>Dr. Moskala returns to Bangladesh
every year to reconnect,</i>

00:01:27.600 --> 00:01:31.860
<i>to support, and to keep building on
the mission he started years ago.</i>

00:01:32.480 --> 00:01:35.060
<i>He continues to mentor local leaders,</i>

00:01:35.445 --> 00:01:39.385
<i>visit students, and walk through
the neighborhoods praying with families,</i>

00:01:39.845 --> 00:01:41.065
<i>encouraging the sick,</i>

00:01:41.285 --> 00:01:44.105
<i>and sharing hope one home at a time.</i>

00:01:44.565 --> 00:01:49.305
<i>For him, retirement simply
means having more time to serve.</i>

00:01:50.130 --> 00:01:54.630
I am so thankful that until today,
I can serve Him

00:01:55.170 --> 00:01:56.710
even though I am now retired.

00:01:56.930 --> 00:02:00.850
He is guiding me forward, day by day.

00:02:00.850 --> 00:02:06.385
I do not want to do nothing more,
nothing less than medical mission.
