Simple conversation as to what she believes would be a good start. And they will see through your actions -- meaning --nothing that u do will save her. But begin with prayer --for God to reveal himself to her, take the veil from her eyes -- no one comes to Jesus unless God draws them near --that's the start.

I don't know how close you are to your Grandmother, but take time to really get to know her and what her spiritual beliefs are. Spend a lot of time listening. Do not try to "convince" her of anything (that is the Holy Spirit's job) but when the time is right, tell her why you are a christian and what Jesus has done in your life. The stronger the relationship you have with her, the easier it is to talk about the things closest to your heart. And as Oreo suggested, always prepare yourself and her heart with a prayer.

Amen, praying for the softening of the hearts towards Christ is good. The see the Lord in you & the change in you... we cant help but change.

I once told someone close to me that when I get to heaven I want him to be one of the first souls that I encounter rejoicing and praising the Lord & it would absolutely break my heart if somehow someway I failed to articulate the freedom that I've found in Christ Jesus adequately. He was dieing... Ultimately we have no control over them but we can testify to the amazing love & to the miracles the Lord gives us daily. Eventually they will stop seeing them as coincidences and truly see the Lord at work in your life. Pray for the right words and Gods timing & just love them. Also pray that the Lord would give you scripture for them. Its so cool when in prayer a verse is given for someone and its the absolute perfect passage, this is so amazing to them & God still never ceases to amaze me! I'll pray for your family... those closest to us are the toughest. I continue in prayer for my dad & brothers. Oh also pray for the Lord to place his people in their path.

Minnie, just be real

Jesus grew up with brothers and sisters and none of them believed until after He went to heaven
