I like the quote from St. Francis of Assissi that goes something like this:

Preach the gospel always; If necesary, use words.

It is the duty of each Christian to live a life of devotion to God and love for one's neighbor. Our hope is that through the grace of God working in us, more people will come to know and love our God. He is wonderful.

"Go forth and make disciples of all peoples" is a direct command from Jesus Christ, God, to the Church He founded for all men. Therefore, yes, in obedience to that divine command the Church must convert people. Therefore the members of the Church - Christians - must convert people.
