Are you sure you haven't misunderstood "the great commission"? Just in case you are not familiar with that term, it is the phrase generally used to describe Jesus' last instruction to every Christian. Here it says in Mark 16:15 - Go out into the world and share the good news with all of creation[VOICE], many other versions replace "creation" with everyone, everywhere, and I'd like us to consider the implications of that.
All creations, suggests everything that has been created, which includes both living and non living things, right? So, how then can you and I preach the Gospel to a non living thing, or to animals? You know, I've grown to become a firm believer that church gatherings are meant to equip us, but the real work is outside the church, in our everyday activity.
Therefore, when Jesus said you should go preach the Gospel everywhere, I'm sure he was thinking about your office, school, playground, market, and anywhere else you come in contact with people. Also, while we are used to preaching with words, let's not forget that it is said that actions speak louder than the voice, so you don't have to open your mouth to tell the world about Jesus.
Secondly, I believe "all creature" also refers to preaching through the work of our hands. When you solve a problem, you just preached the Gospel, when you create a vaccine that saves the life of men or animals, you just preached the Gospel. When you invent something that makes life easy for many, you just preached the Gospel, whatever it is that you do that when men see the good work, they can thank God that thing has been done is an avenue to preach the Gospel.
Remember, even when God used to come down to meet with Adam in the garden, most of his time was spent in the garden working on all God had made. Likewise, after you had your fellowship with God, remember the world is waiting to hear the Gospel from you. God Bless You!
