So, according to you, this is the way to communicate the gospel:

Step 1: Don't communicate the gospel. Give others a chance to see your life.
Step 2: Communicate the gospel when prompted.

Is that what you mean?
I wouldn't separate the two into a formula.. I just refuse to be like the open air evangelists who make an overbearing first impression. Let your life and your message be consistent and speak when those God sent moments are set up for you. I have been given opportunities to go into a full discourse by people asking just the right questions, either inquisitive OR antagonistic. I have had mockers at work give me an open door to turn the tables on them, in a proper manner, while many were listening.
