I for one am all about helping others see our Lord and Savior for who he truly is. This situation you are in is a tough one. I have been in this situation and it has taught me that it is hard to teach someone something that they are so strong in not wanting to learn about, but it is possible. On a daily basis you should start them off by telling them something great that The Lord has done for you. And sometimes when they're having a bad day, recite them a bible verse that will blow their mind. Continue to pray for this person everyday and recommend some really great christian movies that show all of the situations that God can bring you through. Even try encouraging them to go to a church just to "try it out." Figure out why they feel that they shouldn't believe in God and base how to handle the situation from that, maybe they just need a little guidance. I'll be praying for you, the more people that know God the better.

Keep talking to them sharing things when the opportunities arise, but don't be pushy. That is one thing that turns people away very quickly. Be patient, things like this take time. Sometimes just listening helps a lot. build a relationship with them and establish a trust. And just love them. Always pray. And remember that you may be the one that plants the seed even if you personally don't get to see it sprout.

I don't want to tell you to NOT try to share the Gospel there - maybe it is what God wants you to do. But be aware that many of these people's hearts are closed to hearing it. Chat rooms are generally not places where you will grow closer to God.
My suggestion is take a little break from that site, and spend some time in prayer every day asking God where HE wants you to evangelise; maybe He will send you back there, but maybe not. Be open to the guidance of the Holy Spirit. And the most important part is this; wherever you go to evangelise, before you go there, spend as much time as you can in prayer - asking the Holy Spirit to guide your words and to open the hearts of your listeners.
Only the Spirit can convert hearts, we are just a tool that he uses.
God bless.

Unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build it. Psalm 127:1
If God instructs us to preach the Gospel to someone, He promised that the Holy Spirit would give us the words to say. Are these teens asking questions and do they have a hunger to know Jesus Christ? If not, it's pointless to try to save them in your own strength.
Sharing the love and grace of Jesus Christ should not be such a heavy burden, Sister Hailee. It should overflow from you in joy and in the power of the Holy Spirit. Remember how when Jesus walked this earth, He didn't hunt and chase people down. The sick and the lost came running and looking for Jesus! And those who turned away, Jesus didn't try to stop them. He let them walk away.
If you have a burden for these teens, pray and intercede for them for the Lord's sake and ask Jesus to have His perfect way in their lives. In fact, if you have not felt the need to spend time in intercessory prayer for God's will in their lives, I don't think preaching to them will be effectual, do you? Ask the Lord exactly what He instructs you to do. But instant messenger services and secular chat rooms are usually operating under anything but the Holy Spirit's leading.
I think it's honorable and right that you have a desire to see these teens come to Jesus, Sister Hailee. Just remember to pray and seek the Lord's instructions first. Blessings of grace to you, dear!

God sees your heart to help, however, Let God deal with them, perhaps he has plans for People to speak to them who will be stronger in faith and in the word, Im not suggesting you are weak or don't know the gospel, But dealing with people who are captured by the devil themself, you will be falling into a dangerous place. If you can, pray for them, your heart for your friends will be noted by God and there you can help at most. Just keep showing what you believe in, soon if not sooner they will begin to notice that you are serving the true God. and they may turn around and see the light of things and will want what you got. But continue to pray for them. God bless.
