Nate Fields, 1971 Bluffton alum, came to Bluffton the same year Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. gave his powerful “Blueprint” speech.
Originally coming to Bluffton with “no other purpose than to play football,” Fields graduated from Bluffton with a mission to serve—inspired by both the Civil Rights Movement and the bonds formed through the Mennonite ideals of social justice. Fields has spent more than four decades serving poor and marginalized communities in 60 countries from Africa to the Middle East.
