As a church during late 2002/early 2003, we studied a book called "Becoming a contagious christian", which has the aim to help everyday christians share their faith confidently with their friends. One thing that particularly stood out for me was that all people, however good or bad, are loved by God and are all equally valuable to him. Therefore we should do everything possible to save those who don’t know Jesus - not ramming the Good news down their throats - but showing that both we and Jesus care for them. We should let our friends know by what we say and what we do that they matter to us, regardless of whether or not they agree with the Christian message.
