Division In My Family

I am a trying to be a follower of Christ and becoming more interested in evangelizing. I told my parents I want to evangelize but, my mom doesn't want me to and thinks I will get mocked, harassed etc. But because God loved us first, we are to obey God more rather than our own parents. Therefore, do things to glorify God, even if risks relationships. 

"You cannot be my disciple, unless you love me more than you love your father and mother, your wife and children, and your brothers and sisters. You cannot come with me unless you love me more than you love your own life." -Luke 14:26 

I love my parents and yes, I want to honor them. But, could I still evangelize for God even if my parents disagree or I just don't tell them? I feel like if I don't, it shows I love them more than God. My mom is currently having cancer treatment and I feel bad because of her health, I turn my back on her and still do what she doesn't want me to do, even if it's for God. Recently, I was evangelizing at a street intersection and my mom went crazy on me, crying and thinking I am wasting/risking my life in getting hurt or shot. My dad was very upset because my mom was crying and they all don't want me to do it. I'm off from college at the moment and all I do is work and sit around my house. But if I do anything that involves evangelizing on the streets, my mom will probably get a heart attack or something if I disobey her. She is so deceived and follows the world and it's so difficult following Christ. She claims to be a believer but, she is lukewarm and ignores anything I say when it comes to the Bible. I'm so angry and confused because if I don't evangelize, I consider myself lukewarm and feel like I am not pleasing God, but then again, my mom is going through her cancer and I don't want to make her more sick because of me. Please pray that God gives me CLEAR direction!!!!
 
I just feel like I'm being held back and we are commanded to honor our parents, even if they might be wrong.

as a sign to him,

I now ask dear father in heaven,

that you touch his mother

and cleanse her from cancer

'Strengthen our faith to ask and believe you in this ,'

Let him now pray over her

and

dear father,

and set her free from cancer

and strengthen her heart and faith in you

and what you are doing in her Son
