"advocate or promote (a belief or course of action)."
This also has to be a no because it is not advertised again only really those of us who already made the choice know about it. If we were pushing for recognition in what we did then you would see a lot more press on it
The way we preach is door to door spreading the message of the Kingdom or since Covid by letter writing spreading the same message

you are not putting your boot into an organisation though as they are not here only I am. In fact you are doing exactly what Hugh say we do and you are proselytising trying to convert me

No, mate, you need to read your own links…

When asked if the organization was distributing to Jehovah’s Witnesses only, Hendriks said that the organization also delivers food boxes to non-believers who attend bible study or services.

In mid-June, Heather received a 20-pound box of produce from a local branch of the Jehovah’s Witnesses on behalf of her grandmother, an active member of the church. It held potatoes, onions, apples, and a cauliflower—and came with an unexpected letter: “Dear Brothers and Sisters: We are certain that you agree that all praise and honor goes to our great God Jehovah for his abundant provisions to us!” it read. The letter went on to ask that recipients “keep this gift confidential,” and encouraged them to accept the boxes, even if they did not need the food.
The box was one of 100 million distributed so far as part of the Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Farmers to Families Food Box program, the Trump administration’s flagship Covid-19 hunger relief initiative intended to provide emergency food aid to families in need.
The letter’s declaration that the boxes came from Jehovah—instead of taxpayers—represents a significant departure from standard operating procedure for federal food aid.

This may come as a shock to you (as you didn’t know what "proselytising" meant), but going door-to-door and writing letters is proselytism, as you are trying to persuade someone to change their religious beliefs or way of living to your own.
You may find this helpful.
