Faith is like a seed. If planted and nourished it will grow into a tree from which the fruit of eternal life is picked.
"But behold, if ye will awake and arouse your faculties, even to an experiment upon my words, and exercise a particle of faith, yea, even if ye can no more than desire to believe, let this desire work in you, even until ye belive in a manner that ye can give place for a portion of my words."
First humble yourself, banish your pride inspite of any and all circumstances.
Faith is a hope in that which is not seen which is true. Faith is not a perfect knowledge of things
As you continue to desire to have faith and pray to God for faith you will realize that the seed is growing and sprouting. If you percieve this then you will know this desire and hope is a good thing. That it is of God. Our Heavenly Father wants us to have faith in Jesus Christ. He wants us to live in heaven and become like Him. But He also wants you to make a little effort so this growing tree becomes more dear to you so you remember to take care of it protect it from the devil and his jealousy of your devine Heritage.
Desire, Hope, Pray, Read the Scriptures and be Prepared for the devil to tempt you not to believe.
When you feel a swelling joy in your heart and an inlightening of your mind, your tree is growing. It will take time for your seedling to grow into a sappling then tree. And one day Blossoms will grow. Then eventually you will taste the pure fruit.
You must always remember to feed it or it won't grow deep roots and will collapse at the first sign of trouble.
Be diligent. One day you taste the fruit of the tree you have planted in partnership with God.

If they're into it and want to learn, take them to church and teach them the bible.
If they're random strangers who don't have the same faith as you, don't try to convert them, don't do anything to them. How would you like it if someone tried to force you to believe something in which you had no beliefs in? So stick with those who may want to learn.

Don't teach. Lead by example. When you can demonstrate the power of your faith, others will follow your example.

I apologize as I forget who said it, but I feel it's pretty much the best quote for the job.
"Preach the gospel at all times, and if necessary, use words."

First of all you must be a true believer yourself, and not be a hypocrite. People these days like you to do as you preach!

tell them that he was just a man, like any of us, who made difference by being brave to speak love. That made him immortal in our hearts and our minds.... Any of us has chance to become one alike , but only if we truly love
