I am crazy about God. I have seen Him do so much in my, and others lives that i think He is great.
I would talk about about him all day every day if I could, but the point is, only to fellow Christians.
Non Christians, generally, are not interested. Why should I bore them with stuff they cannot relate to, or dont particularly want to know?
Why am I saying this? Because I think the 'church' needs to completely re-assess its approach to evangelism and what evangelism really means.
Most 'churches' have an annual 'mission', others coerce the flock to evangelise daily, weekly, monthly, on rota, at every opportunity.
I dont think this is what Jesus intended.
Ibelieve Jesus intended 'lifestyle' evangelism. That is not where we preach at every one we meet each and every day. It is where we give an answer when we are asked. It is a product of the relationships we build with people in the course of our daily life. Hopefully we are an attractive letter to be read by others and that will lead to them asking us the reason for whatever it is they have noticed 'special' about us.
What we tend to forget is that it is Jesus, by the Holy Spirit that gives revelation of Himself. We do not give revelation! We cannot 'force' people, with threats, veiled or otherwise, of hell etc, to suddenly 'know' God. The press gang days should be long gone. Conversion is Gods work, in His time, in who He chooses.
There are some churches that put its members on guilt trips about evangelism. They say it is every christians duty to evangelise. Rubbish. It is every Christians duty to give an answer for the hope he has. It is the evangelists job, to evangelise - and the evangelist is one job of many in thye church.
Think about these things, get back to the Instruction Manual (the Bible) and see if I am right or wrong. Then do what God says, and be as God says, not man.

I can go with that 
As a non-Christian I can tell you that nothing irks me more than the evangelist.
When walking past my local "happy clappy" church in Bristol, or 'The Church of Saint Filofax of the Lesser Volvo' as I liked to call it, I was constantly assailed and harangued by churchgoers, and on one occasion virtually assaulted as a man tried to drag me in! This was extremely annoying, and such was their zeal it was impossible to have an intelligent, unbiased discussion.
I'm much more impressed by deed rather than word, especially when much of the word is hypocritical.
Although a pagan, I am not entirely unknown at my parents' church, and I'm quite happy to help out there at fundraisers, etc. The vicar, Peter, is a very fine young chap whom I respect and admire. He knows I am not a Christian, but we get on fine regardless and he has never once made me feel uncomfortable.
I'm quite happy in my belief system which, believe it or not, is not too far away from the core beliefs of yours - be kind, help people, harm none, look after the community and environment. Preaching at me won't convert me. If people are drawn to Christianity, let them be drawn by its goodness and charity, not beaten into submission!
