How does one make disciples without a proclamation of the Gospel?
Making disciples is a personal undertaking that takes time and relationship. You can't shout someone into discipleship. You live your life in such a way that you are honoring God and he will give you opportunities to minister.

Agreed.

Oh no, please don't advise that strategy - it's the worst. I'd much rather have someone come to my door and shove a bible in my face than what you're recommending. I say that because it seems like some Christians will find non-Christians and try to become "friends" on a secular basis before slowly and subtly pushing Christianity...except it's never slow or subtle and they're always really shitty "friends".
I've had a few of these covert attempts made on me, the worst was a coworker inviting me over to watch a football game and it turning in to three hours of Jesus fest. It was terrible.
It must be how an attractive woman feels after awkwardly turning down a man that has tried to become "friends" with intentions of much more.

So when Paul preached at Mars Hill, how many of those thousands did he have a personal relationship with?
I largely agree with your point. But the public proclamation of the Gospel, even in large settings, has Scriptural support. And cannot simply be excluded from our lives because it's socially awkward.
