Share the gospel of Jesus Christ and let God do the rest. I am a tool for God, I can't save anyone.

You ever heard the old adage "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink"?
Basically you can bombard this poor person with all manner of religious text, and prey for them till you are blue in the face, but if they are not interested, and you try and 'lead' them to it, all you'll do is annoy them. If they're not interested, or not a believer, then you are not going to be able to change that.
Change must come from within. If this person decides that perhaps they want to explore christianity then by all means, discuss it with them, point them in the right direction. But if they are not interested in becoming christian, or they are not religious, or they follow another religion then it is not your place to try and goad them into changing what they believe.
If you go down that path, if you try and force your beliefs on someone you might find that all you succeed in doing is alienating them, and you'll end up losing a friend.

(Rom 3:23 KJV) For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Everyone is in the need of salvation because all have sinned.
(John 3:16 KJV) For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Because of love, Jesus died on the Cross and arose from the dead to provide the way to salvation.
(2 Pet 3:9 KJV) The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
It is not God's will that any should perish, but His desire is that all would be born again.
(Rom 10:9 KJV) That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
It is by believing in the heart and confessing out loud with the mouth that a person is born again. Belief in the heart will work changes in a person's life.

first of all dont shove ur beliefs down their throat, in other words dont tell them whats is the truth and what is a lie cuz they might feel as if their being judged
(iv done it before, it doesnt really solve anything)
but what you can do is telling them about experiances that have happiend with you and Jesus and God and problems u have faced.

The first thing to do is to constantly pray for this person that God may open their heart to the gospel. Without God's help nothing can happen. Then ask God to use you to bring this person to faith and allow God to open the doors of opportunity.

Teach them what you know about Jesus and encourage them to learn all they can by reading and learning for themselves.
