Question about converting agnostics into Christians

Hello.

I am a strong believer in Christianity. However, I know someone who is very close to me. He's like my older brother. I care a lot about him, and he cares a lot about me. I was disappointed (for the lack of a better description on my feelings) by the fact that he was an atheist. I respect his decision of his choice of belief, but I care so much about him, that I want to introduce him to Christianity and God.
I had real life experience of God. He has worked so much miracles in my life. I want to convert that someone to Christianity, but I don't know where to start.. I don't know if he will feel uncomfortable if I even bring up the topic about Christianity.

So my questions are the following:

How do you convert him into Christianity and avoid damage in my relationship with that someone?

What kind of miracles has God worked for your life? Or your experiences with God?

If you were an atheist/agnostic who converted to Christianity, what persuaded you to become a Christian?

I'm so confused about how and where I should start. Any other tips offered would be appreciated.

Thank you for taking your time to read and answer this.

Pray for him. Show him the love of Christ. I was the first in my family to trust Christ and my brother, mother and dad in time all became believers. God must produce belief and He asks that we be His witnesses (but n9ot obnoxious ones).

memorize this, live it, and above all talk more to God about him that to him about God.

God can do it.
