LEADING FAMILY MEMBERS TO CHRIST

mwrighty130 said:

Hi!

So, my brother has had a 3-year relationship with a non-Christian and admitted to putting his faith in the backseat and letting it go unsaid. But recently, he has really felt inspired to read through the Bible in a year and alongside that bring up his faith to his girlfriend.

She is very curious, open and warm to learning more about Jesus.
But where can my brother start?? Do you believe somebody needs a super crazy encounter with the Holy Spirit to believe in Jesus? Should he just start reading the Bible to/with her?

We have prayed over it and believe God will really move in her life. I was just curious as to what you think to my questions.

Thanks a lot.

Hi, welcome to the forum.

My personal thoughts are to keep praying for them both and also ask for the Holy Spirit to give you wisdom how and when to present the gospel message. The "new birth" is the work of the Holy Spirit. Reading the bible is excellent. Nothing wrong with that. Share your testimony and what God is doing in your life.
Praying for you

Witnessing to family members can be one of the most difficult things. Family members remember you the way you were. Even Jesus was not received well in his hometown Luke 4:14-30. I do most of my evangelizing based on The Way Of The Master program, where you speak to the conscience and show them why they deserve the wrath of God and are deserving of death. then you share the good news of the Gospel that Jesus came here as our substitutionary atonement and gave us what was rightfully His. His righteousness in exchange for our death sentence. Here is a youtube link to witnessing to family members from The Way Of The Master series. share this with your brother, even if she doesn't confess and repent of her sins, at least a sed has been planted. Prayers my friend.
