They proselytize because of a prophecy, that has already been fulfilled. The prophecy said that once there were Christians world wide, Christ would return. Since they don't recognize the guy that fit the bill, they assume that prophecy hasn't been fulfilled, and they need more Christians everywhere.
It basically caused the 7th Day Adventists, and The Jehovah's Witnesses to be founded. Funny thing was they got the year right, and then completely missed everything else.
Wait who's the guy who fit the bill???
The Báb and Baha'u'llah were born directly descended from David, and declared their missions in 1844 and 1863 respectively, having never actually met each other, but The Báb specifically named Baha'u'llah as his successor just before taking three regiments worth of lead to the face, for the second time that month.
