You can't. They have to agree to it

You can't.
No "person" can convert another... It's God's Holy Spirit that has to make a person realize/acknowledge their need of Christ ...
We (as Christians) are called to be a Witness...a light...an example...and ofcourse offer support to other believers...and those interested in becoming Christians.
I know Christians aren't perfect --- but that's our sinful nature poking it's ugly head out.
We're just a work in progress.
God bless.

to convert someone you need to practice what you beleive.
I beleive in One God and that is ALLAH. He is the one God who has no partner. Nothing is like Him. He is the Creator, not the created, nor a part of His creation. He is All-Powerful, absolutely Just, All-Knowing, All-Merciful, the Supreme, the Sovereign. There is no entity worthy of worship besides Him.

Get them young and subject them to constant propaganda. For example, tell them that sex is filthy, nasty, shameful, and sinful and should only be saved for someone you love. The church uses the first part of this concept to establish social control even though it makes no sense. With enough indoctrination, people will ignore their own survival for the sake of an idiotic concept and strap explosives to themselves and murder others.
You have to start early in life to get that much brainwashing.

Pray fervently for the person's salvation, but leave it to God to tender his/her heart. Just be a friend and do not bring up religion every time you get together. Let you light shine. Hopefully he/she will see you have something[the One] they really need. All you can do is the plant the seeds of hope and kindness; God will do the rest.

You can't convert anyone. Only God can do that. All you can do is be a good example. If you're a jerk about trying to convert anyone you'll just serve as a counterexample to whatever you're trying to prove.

Convert them into what?
A Clean source of fuel?
Paper products?
If you mean religiously, by living a life that they would want to be a part of.

you can't! You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink. On the other hand, if that same horse becomes thirsty, it will find its own water. When they are ready to convert, they will with out your help. Just make sure you are there to receive them if and when that happens.

DON'T!!! That's a sure fire way to get someone to think your religion is a waste of time. If you feel the need to convert everyone you see, well then you are wasting your time. I wouldn't try to convert you to my religion, so don't try to convert me to yours. I won't go!!!!!!!!

People who think they can truly convert others are simply ignorant of the fact that if you need others to confirm your faith you didn't believe to begin with.

You can't convert a person, they must first be willing to be converted.
