Michael Reeves wants you to understand that the doctrine of the Trinity has everything to do with the practice of missions.

No longer are missions an obligation or a drudgery. Instead, realizing the abundance of love that goes forth from God, we who have received and delighted in such love are motivated to go forth as well.
