proselyting
Actively recruiting believers
Proselyting is attempting to convert someone to a religion, belief system, or cause.
The word carries a pushy connotation—proselyting often feels unwelcome to its targets: Missionaries went door to door proselyting.
Also spelled proselytizing, which is more common.
