Dr. Moskala’s Lifelong Calling

Dhaka, Bangladesh

More than 25 years after arriving in Bangladesh as a missionary dentist, Dr. Milan Moskala continues to return to support schools, mentoring, and care for the community he helped shape. Though officially retired, his commitment to medical mission hasn’t slowed down.

Every year, one man boards a plane with a suitcase full of supplies and a heart full of purpose. His destination? A city that changed his life, and where his mission still lives on.

Dr. Milan Moskala first came to Bangladesh as a missionary dentist more than 25 years ago. But God had planted the seed in his heart long before he ever stepped foot here.

“I discovered that God called me to a medical mission. I am thankful very much always. I am so grateful that He chose me to be a medical missionary.”

Over the years, Dr. Moskala built a ministry that reached far beyond the walls of his dental clinic. He treated patients with compassion, started schools in underserved communities, and launched nutrition programs to help children grow strong and healthy. He also organized a sponsorship network that gave thousands of young people access to Adventist education and a new vision for their future.

What started with caring for physical needs quickly grew into something more—a life of service, compassion, and faith.

Though now retired for ten years, Dr. Moskala returns to Bangladesh every year to reconnect, to support, and to keep building on the mission he started years ago. He continues to mentor local leaders, visit students, and walk through the neighborhoods, praying with families, encouraging the sick, and sharing hope one home at a time. For him, retirement simply means having more time to serve.

“I am so thankful that still today, I can serve Him even though I am now retired. He is guiding me forward, day by day.”

“I want to do nothing more, nothing less than medical mission.”
