Christians, do you find active witnessing and preaching to be effective, or do you prefer to witness quietly and let your life be your testimony?

Lead by example! If people are curious about "what you believe", they will ask!

I choose my life to be a testimony. Words are meaningless without action. Whats the point on preaching to someone when EVERYONE are sinners. Nonbelievers dont wanna hear the same thing they heard a million times. They wanna see it!

Both are good. The Lord will lead you into speaking into someone's life. As far as letting your life be your testimony, thats should be a 24/7 thing. Its called integrity.

The Church exorts us to witness by living example. It is a greater and stronger witness than our words ever could be. We should also, however, know our faith and be thoroughly catechized, so that we can answer questions and teach others if need be.
Everything starts with prayer. We must center everything we do in prayer, so that it is Jesus leading the way, and not us.
God bless.

I do it actively by my actions.
If they have questions I answer them.
I have been commanded to witness to the world. I do that by telling others what I have witness G-d has done in my life.
Than I leave it up to that person to decide.

They will known by thier fruits. Which is why so many give Christianity a bad name. I wish the "example" ones would outnumber the crazy ones.

as a non-Christian, i would have to tell you that the preaching thing doesn't work. we have heard it all before. most christians preach because they think their words will mean something - and they don't. i will, however, be more likely to see you are sincere about your faith if you LIVE it.

I really try to be an example and share what faith has done for me. I don't actively "recruit" or evangelize to people.
