That would depend on the motive of the person doing the praying. Evangelism is about promoting your belief in the hope that other people will come to share it. It's conceivable that the person offering to pray might hope that, in the long term, their faith as expressed in their desire to pray for others might cause those others to desire to share that faith. However some Christians would term this 'evangelization' rather than 'evangelism', in recognition that it is quite different than actively telling people what your world-view is and recommending they consider accepting it.

I doubt the Health Authority is interested in the technicalites anyway. So far as they are concerned, she simply is being too overtly religious for their liking.
