ST. CLOUD Minn.
Rev. Vincent Bulus says his family is “very happy” about the life he’s chosen to lead.
St. Cloud is probably the last place you would expect to find the Rev. Vincent Bulus, a short man from Nigeria with big dreams who overcame even bigger obstacles in real life.
He grew up poor in a village with 11 siblings, only four of whom are alive today. Bulus, the baby of the family, had a twin sister who died when she was an infant.
“Life was really hard. My father had nothing a farmer, a hunter. We were barely living. … But my father got in touch with missionaries,” Bulus, 35, said of the road to his salvation.
The St. Cloud State University graduate student will receive his master’s degrees in higher education administration, and educational administration and leadership in May.
“I hope to be able to provide service to humanity within and out of the church in the field of education … in any administrative capacity the church requires,” Bulus said.
