Brad - firstly, I will be praying for you tonight. That is an awesome opportunity. God is at work and I pray that he will use you to impact lives and people's eternities.
As a chaplain, I totally take my hat off to you. You have one of the most difficult and yet significant jobs I could ever imagine. I will pray that God continues to use you.
In response to your post (I hope I am reading you right)...
I agree with you that the primary motivation to do anything is to bring glory to God, and that guilt tripping people into doing evangelism (I never try and guilt trip people into doing anything - guilt should drive us to Jesus - he is the one who forgives us and empowers us to serve).
There are also lots of other reasons to do evangelism however... The wrath of God, because you long to see people encounter Jesus, because it brings purpose to our lives, it is the most loving thing I can do for other etc.
