Dear Sarah,
Sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ and Him crucified and risen is even more important to me than sharing the exciting news of what my 16 month old grandson is learning on a daily basis! Btw, watching him learn to ask for Help or Milk or More using sign language is very exciting to me.
My heavenly Father does not want anybody to be eternally separated from Him. Therefore I do not want anybody to be eternally separated from Him.

It's very important to wait for the moment God provides and follow His lead. Acting on your own will, most certainly becomes offensive and potentially damaging to the work God has planned. Live your life as an example of Christ, there is no better way to share your faith. :)

It is our duty, to share our faith in Christ. The Bible says in places to comfort one another with these words. You have to be careful about sharing with some people, because it made them feel uneasy, and they think you are forcing it on them.
The best way to share your faith is by the way you conduct your life. That's one reason a Christian should live and act like a Christian.

So you believe that you have the right answer and you are bursting to tell everyone else. Why?
Do you think that your life experience is superior to someone elses? Egotism? Altruism?
You may be right, you may be wrong, but each individual is free to listen or not.
I can see the joy that can be experienced in being 'reborn', I can also understand the buzz in bungee jumping the first time.
It is one thing to discuss your beliefs with a colleague but if it falls on deaf ears leave it there. (It may be that they are on to something better than your religious 'trip')
Respect for the individual is key, Live and let live.

I seems to be important only in the Middle Eastern religions of Christianity and Muslim.
Buddhist and Native Americans don´t seem to be compelled to push religion on others.
I am half Buddhist and half native American, so for me, No.

2 Timothy 4:2
preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction.
It seems pretty inportant to Paul and Timothy!
Matthew 28:18-20
18 And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.
19 "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit,
20 teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age."
Pretty important to Jesus too!

I don't share faith... I share what I've learned, and I TRY to do it without offending, however there will always be those who take offense.

very important because Jesus commanded us to share and let others know that God really exist and there is eternal life where we can be with Him.

It's a part of who I am. I share my faith when someone cares to learn...
