I have no issue with your wanting to glorify your God, but I think that in the second half of your purpose there lies a possible conflict for you:

Unless you think that your "purpose" has nothing to do with your "job" (which I'm thinking that it does, in the sense that you are using the two terms above), you cannot always fulfill both of those objectives above. I mean, to many people, trying to "bring them to Christ" will offend them, which you say you don't want to do. I'm sure you try and do it in a "non-offensive" way (i.e. talking/preaching to them in a civilized manner about it, not clubbing them over the head and forcibly baptizing them), but to many people just the idea of you trying to change their beliefs is offensive...
