I'd see it as the one priority consisting of two parts. Letting your light shine (being good & nice) as part of the mechanism of recruitment. That doesn't require a choosing between the two componants of the priority.
Your wording is leading me to believe that what I mean by "being good and nice" isn't the same as what you mean by "being good and nice". Likewise, I don't think we're thinking of the same thing by the word "recruitment" either.
I'll try again to ask my question:
What's more important... helping other people, or making sure they've heard of Jesus Christ?
Here's a scenario to help describe my question:
You are in the centre of a street. You learn of two people, one in a building on the North side, the other in a building on the South side.
Person in North building - Is very adept at helping others yet does not know of any person named Jesus Christ.
Person in South building - Has in-depth knowledge of Jesus Christ. But doesn't help other people.
Who do you go and talk to first?
Going to see the North building fellow first would imply that knowledge of Jesus is more important.
Going to see the South building fellow first would imply that helping others is more important.
