If the major tenant of Christianity is The Great Commission, then why are you all sitting at home right now posting on this bulletin board?
Why aren't you standing on a corner in Beijing, preaching to the lost?
There are a lot of ways of spreading the Gospel. Life witness is one of them. Do you not think that a group of people who devote themselves entirely to Christ, and eschew worldly dealings, who spend their time trying to perfect holiness and charity, are good witnesses to Christ?
You can set up a monastery in the middle of pagan territory and simply live there, letting the inhabitants see how you live. They can observe how you act, and if they notice your charity, generosity, and kindliness, holiness, and wisdom, they may decide that it's something they want for themselves, so they come to you and ask for what you have.
That, too, is a way of spreading the Gospel. As somebody once said, "Preach without ceasing; use words if you have to."
Sure you can set up a nice little Christian cofee shop in the middle of LA and it will effect someone.
But I have never met anyone who was saved in a wordless sermon.
