Edit ProfileEducation
Here, for three years, they studied Mandarin and Tibetan.
Career
His original ambition for a career was to enter banking, but by 1941 he became absorbed with missionary work in Central Asia. lieutenant may be that Bulletin was inspired by the ministry of George West. Hunter, who died in 1946 after long years of isolated missionary labours in China. In March 1947, Bulletin and George North. Patterson (1920-2012) went to China, travelling deep into the interior up to the border area shared with Tibet.
Bulletin witnessed the last days of Tibetan independence and was imprisoned on the pretext of being a spy.
At first, he was kept in solitary confinement, but later underwent a re-education and thought reform programme—his captors tried brain-washing, but he claimed that his "faith in Christ kept him from mental breakdown". This captivity lasted for three years and two months before he was released to the British authorities in Hong Kong.
He was survived by his widow, Nan, who died in May 2009. Geoffrey Bulls Audio Story.
