Leave a bible on their car. Buy them some good Christian music CDs. Loan them some of my uplifting videos.

Thanks for the input.
I would not insist on any specific action. I do however recommend one very highly, though certianly it is not easy or quick.

First, live as godly a life as possible.
Get to know and be known as much as possible by loved ones and those about you as you can.

Let it be known that you believe in Jesus. Not by words alone, but by actions, kindness, caring respect, compation by practicing a love based on the understanding of 1 Corithians 13

Expect at any time to give the reason for the faith youhave in Jesus. Not some canned, prepared ,scripted, rehearsed responce that you picked up from a semenar, or church evangilism cource. Keep it real and personal.

And this is the important part. . .
We are here to witness. To bring Christ to the people not bring the people to Christ.
If they ask that you walk with them a mile and will let you walk with then two then walk with them, but don't try to take them on a road trip

The biggest problem today with the evangelical church is the perseption portrayed by the church that once there is an interest we are to drop the whole gospel on them then and there. Nothing can be farther than the truth. Give them a sincere, short and truthful answer and take it no farther than they are willing to go.
Never forget.
They are spiritual infants , drop too much on them and they will choke on it get smothered by it and become afraid of you and it.
Make the experience pleasent, informitive, and above all, truthful and they will return. Do other wise and they may never seek the truth again from you or anyone else. Witnessing and evangilism is a team effort and a process ,not a single shot, one person,winner take all sport.

If your talking the talk ,you better be walking the walk, because even a new born can tell the differance in a bottle, a breast and a pasifier.

Blessings
Cliff
