Five years ago, a biblical prophecy became particularly pertinent to Scott Sundberg and his family. The little child who led them was Sundberg's older son Leif, then 5, whose "prophetic voice" seemed intended to change his father's behavior-and destined to change his life.
About a year later, Sundberg, his wife Wendy and their two sons left Southern California for what he calls a "cross-cultural experience" in Lancaster, Pa., where he became communications director for Mennonite Disaster Service (MDS).
An almost 50-year span of Bluffton athletics is represented in the university's Athletics Hall of Fame class of 2010-11, which will be inducted during a Jan. 29 dinner and ceremony in Marbeck Center.
