Ok, I'm a Christian, loosely speaking because I believe in Christ ~ although raised a Catholic, and I have no idea what you are talking about as far as quotas are concerned. I do know that Jehovah Witnesses have quotas, but I believe those have been met...only 180,000 (or something like that) will be getting into heaven, and the rest of us are doomed...so why they keep ringing those doorbells is beyond me!

LOL. Quota?! If you are asking whether Christians would rather have the Jews and Muslims convert rather than atheists, etc. I would say Christians shouldn't play favorites. However, I feel a greater affinity towards Jews than Muslims, only because Jesus was Jewish.

There is no quota, there is only the great commission. We are to take what we are given and increase it. See the parable of the 3 slaves who were given money by their master to invest while he was gone.

There is no "quota." Explain what you mean.

“My Father is glorified in this, that you keep bearing much fruit and prove yourselves my disciples.”—John 15:8.

A DISCIPLE is a “taught one,” a “learner.” Hence, disciples of Jesus Christ are persons who have accepted his teaching and are living in harmony with the example that he set while on earth. So if we are going to be true disciples of the Son of God, we do well to consider his activity on earth in order to determine just what is required of us.

The whole life course of Jesus centered around service. He told his disciples: “My food is for me to do the will of him that sent me and to finish his work.” (John 4:34) “The Son of man came, not to be ministered to, but to minister and to give his soul a ransom in exchange for many.” (Matt. 20:28)

But can imperfect humans imitate the perfect example of Jesus Christ? It definitely is possible. The apostle Paul did it, and so did many others of Jesus’ devoted disciples. Paul encouraged Christians at Corinth: “Become imitators of me, even as I am of Christ.”—1 Cor. 11:1.

Like Jesus Christ, the apostle Paul had genuine concern and love for people. He was especially pained by the unbelief of his countrymen. In his letter to the Romans, the apostle wrote: “I am telling the truth in Christ; I am not lying, since my conscience bears witness with me in holy spirit, that I have great grief and unceasing pain in my heart. For I could wish that I myself were separated as the cursed one from the Christ in behalf of my brothers, my relatives according to the flesh.”—Rom. 9:1-3.

In view of what Paul was preaching, his countrymen regarded him as an apostate, as one who had no love for them. However, nothing could have been farther from the truth. His conscience, enlightened by holy spirit, bore witness to his great love for them. He was willing to do anything that he possibly could to help his countrymen to gain salvation.

Like Paul in the first century, true Christians today seek to help people come to an accurate knowledge of truth which frees people from believing in superstitions, from living in damaging ways and gives people deep meaning in life today along with hope for the future.

It would be wonderful if all people came to an accurate knowledge of truth. It would make the hearts of those preaching righteousness leap with joy as well as bringing joy to all those who listen to the word. But we realize not everyone is willing to listen.

ADDITIONAL:

There is widespread misunderstanding about the work of Jehovah's Witnesses, just as there is often widespread misunderstandings with regard to most small groups of people who do things differently. So, in response to one other answerer who said Jehovah's Witnesses have quotas, I would like to make it clear that we do not. The number the answerer mentioned (144,000 which can be found in Revelation chapter 7 and chapter 14) is with respect to people promised to share in the Kingdom ruling in heaven with Christ over the earth (Revelation 5:10), which is where the Bible explains the majority of righteous men have the hope of living after Armageddon (Psalm chapter 37; Revelation 21:3-5; Isaiah 65:20-25).
