Pray and ask God to use you, let God know you are willing to forsake your way for his way and your will for his, get strong in your word(Bible) fast and pray, and allow your light to shine, you should not have to convert if you are truly living in the image of God. People should approach you asking how can I be saved....

Make yourself the person they admire most in their life by the way you behave. Act kindly, never lose your temper, show sympathy when they need it and always be a friend. Show that you feel in control of things in your life and that you are confident in the world. When they show interest in what it is that enables you to be so serene, gently observe that it is not down to you, it is thanks you your following the teachings of Jesus Christ, and that you are deeply grateful for such an example. Then leave it at that. Under no circumstances start leaving pamphlets in their path or start bugging them with cliches about the "Good News". Remember that patience is a virtue and that s/he has free will. You may not succeed. But you will avoid being a nuisance and keep a friend. If you act properly s/he may come over. It is possible s/he is already content with the beliefs s/he has, and will not wish to. You have to avoid pride sufficiently to accept that.

You need to be a living example of Christs love and then pray that the Lord will open a door of opportunity for you to talk to this friend. It is very helpful to do a three day fast where you spend the majority of your day in prayer, worship and reading your Bible, and quiet one on one time just listening to the voice of the Lord. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your path.

You can not convert anyone, any conversion done by man is a weak conversion, and will leave the person more confused or "screwed up" than before converting them.
Pray that God uses you in any way possible to reach the person's heart and mind, and ask Him to speak to his/her soul.

Share your Faith. We are called to share the Gospel and plant seeds not make converts. It's Gods job to do the work of conversion all we need to do is be willing to be used by Him and let Him work through us. God bless!

Depends how open they are. If they are truly seeking answers, give them some Christian Apologetics books. If the person has another religion, tell them if they read a Christian book you give them, you'll read a book they give you. You can't coerce people into believing though. Be patient.

dont even try!
no one should have to convert to christianity, until they KNOW all the facts and can choose which christian denomination is most correct of all the others.
but for me! iwas given a pocket bible in school and when i began to read it, it was by my own choice that i wanted to believe and became born again.
it was also by study and prayer that i learned that all catholics dont have the true gospel and protestants fell away from the true catholic faith altogether. so no one church is true.
read THE FIRST VISION by joseph smith jr.
and you get back to me, and tell me what you think.

I bear witness of Jesus and have SEEN with my eyes the glory of Christ.

Live the way you are suppose to in front of them..reach out to them, as well as others, in love. Show them that it's fun to be a christian..not dull and boring, like so many people have made it up to be.

Impart to them the truths of life that Jesus taught us when they are receptive to hearing. Live by the truth daily and they see qualities in you that they would like for themselves, and they will gravitate Godward.

Try torture and murder if they don't want to convert. It worked in several Crusades and an Inquisition. Or you can simply burn them at the stake as a display of Gods love for them like they used to do a few hundred years ago.
