Hi Addison Let them choose if they want to follow Jesus or not. I know they don't know what Christian mean to them. One thing is we can do is just witness t othem by our action what is right thing for our lord. We can't do anything aboutthem unless they choose to follow Him in their heart. That is their responsibity.
