She doesn't seem to pray, but i think she believes in God. One time I asked her if she wanted 2 come 2 church w/ me and she said... " Why do i need 2 go 2 some big place just to pray to some guy"

Leave her be. If she's interested, she'll come to you. Otherwise, you're running the risk of alienating your sister and putting a strain on your relationship with her. Is that a risk that you're willing to take? If not, let her live her life. She knows what's best for her.

I wouldn't force religion on someone.
Learn from history...
I understand how you might be "worried" about her soul. However, how do you know that you're belief system is correct. There are 100s of Religions and Christianity only became extremely influential because the Catholic Church used religion to control the masses during Medieval times. It was the only thing that the people could really hold onto.
I'm not saying it's not correct, but have an open mind and love your sister for the person she is.

You can't force her, and neither can God. The only thing you can do is pray that God works on her heart and opens it back up to him. God will work it in his own timing.

Why bother? She isn't you, and her beliefs are none of your business.
Besides: Why does someone need to go to a church to pray?

Don't push. Ask her what she believes and then respect her beliefs. You can't make someone interested in God but you can "turn them off" completely if you start spoon-feeding them your beliefs.

Do a crusade on her. That worked during the Middle Ages.

I think you should MYOB. You have no right to try and push your beliefs on to anyone.
Religion is (or should be) a personal thing and should be confined to your head, your home and your church.
Leave everyone else alone......

I think you should let her believe in what she wants, instead of trying to force your beliefs onto her.
