Dr. David Haag - Director of Tri-M
David & Annette Haag have been EBM missionaries since 1977. They have served in France and Scotland as resident missionaries and served as European Director in the Home Office in the mid-90's. While in Scotland, David began traveling to Romania to teach Bible institute modules to pastors and Christian leaders. Seeing the need for solid Biblical training in developing and restricted access nations, David began developing a 4-year curriculum to teach in mobile modular ministry classes. As he and other traveling teachers rotated in and out of countries with the classes, the students would earn the equivalency of a Bible college education. His vision grew into the EBM ministry of Tri-M. Today he is the Director of Tri-M which has six full time missionary couples carrying on mobile ministry throughout Africa, Eurasia, and the Pacific Rim. Dozens of students have completed the full rotation of classes and some now are assisting in the teaching with Tri-M personnel. Pastors and Bible college and seminary teachers regularly join with the Tri-M missionaries in teaching modules. Their goal is expressed in 2 Timothy 2:2. David holds a BA from Evangel College, ThG and ThB from Baptist Bible College, MA from Bob Jones University, and a PhD from Baptist Christian University. The Haags have 4 children and 12 grandchildren.
