They have free will to choose to accept god, if they see fit; you have free will to choose to dedicate your life to giving them all the information to make the right choice, if you see fit.
It's like elections; ultimately people will vote as they see fit. Surely that doesn't mean you shouldn't campaign?
if the god we are talking about is the god of the bible, then according to the book of ephesians, it is god who elects. according to the gospel of john, it is god who chooses.

I'd spend all my time and money witnessing.
I mean think about it, people. Immortal souls are at stake here.
You simply don't have time for golf, or nice cars, or posting in a word association thread on a chess website. Or anything else.
Wives and children are, like Playstations, a terrible distraction. Saving two souls is better than creating one ...[text shortened]... what if the ungrateful little SOB turns against the church? Then your score goes down by one!

And after we eat lunch and hear a testimony of what Christ has done for that person. Which I have not done yet. everyother year I go to the mens retreat then this year I will do the golf tournament.
So golfers don't need witnessed to?

I don't have much money.
But boy if I did
I'd build a big church where
We both could witness*
