If you could choose one person that you would love to see born again, who would that be? Actually, you may name more than one but put your greatest desire at the top of the list.
P.S. I'll agree with you for them.

Well, despite not ever knowing him, I would choose for my biological father to be born again. He left my sister and I when my sister was in the hospital dying (she was less than 6 months old). She was born 3 months premature and had trouble from the start. According to my mom, he came to the hospital to visit, with Uncle Dave next to him. She said he slurred his words, stumbled around, and reaked of alcohol. She was very upset and asked him to leave. He never came back. I am 34 years old and I don't even know what he looks like. I tried to establish contact but it didn't last because it was too painful. He drinks heavily daily, he curses worse than a sailor, he can't complete a sentence because he's so intoxicated. He has spent the last 34 years, traveling around in carnivals.
I carry with me to this day, the fear of abandonment. I haven't had a decent relationship with a male figure since he left me. I, however am not complaining too much. He is the one who has lived with the guilt and the shame and the saddness. He refuses to stop drinking and better himself. I gave him a few opportunities to get right with us but he didn't want to. I just want to see him be born again so he will stop drinking, he will hunker down with a good job and a nice place to live, so he will get rid of the guilt and shame and turn his life around. I pray sometimes that he will get better so that I can get to know him before one of us passes away. That will take a miracle though and honestly, that's one miracle, that I have doubt about. Thank you for this opportunity to share. It made me feel better inside. God Bless.

Jack, because he is like a son to me and he could be a missionary to the Philippines and marry and make beautiful children and give me an excuse to vacation there. Then Darth Cheney because he would look awesome behind a pulpit and I know every one would be afraid to doze off when he was preaching.

Great question.
• My in-laws first come to mind.
• Emiliano M: I have a whole prayer list of people here on Y!A who I would like to see born again.
• Those who everyone listed (Bid Laden, etc.).
• If she wasn't dead, Madalyn Murray O'Hair!

My family
a bunch of friends you people don't know
Some atheists here on R&S (some of them like the donkey and footprints would actually be funny to see converted, but i guess the same could have been said about me a few years ago)
Paz de Cristo

OK look, if you plan for a contingency then that contingency usually eventuates... so if I was to wish this on someone.. knowing my capacity for crystal balling it will prolly happen..... I choose my father by reason that he could do with a bit of old time religion so at least he would take Sundays off.

My kids... Can't list them in order. I would take any order that they were born again in!
I just came back from Ohio, seeing my father in law. He is very close to death. I tried to pray with him, and talk to him about the Lord and His gift of salvation.But he refused me. I don't have peace that my dad in law knows this gift. I would pray for him as I know that he will soon meet Jesus. And that all will bow and confess that Christ is Lord. I would have him do that on this side of life.

1. Osama Bin Laden
2. Muqtadar Al Sadr
3. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
(I'm not a Christian, but it sure would solve a few problems)
I like the Louis Farahkahn idea below as well.
On a separate note- it's interesting to see how many Christians have answered here that they want their loved ones to change and have the same beliefs as them.

My middle daughter who claims to be an athiest and rejects the entire family because we are most of us believers. She calls all of us hypocrites and even asked to have her and her sons removed from the family tree that is being put together by my nephew.

I will agree with my wife on Jennifer Garner, and of course, her husband, Ben. My wife says she would love to see such great personalities get saved and have the Holy Spirit to reign in their lives.
