One of the things that makes Christians nervous in these situations is the feelings that they don't know the perfect prayer for leading people to Christ.

The truth is that there is no magic formula to worry about. All the person needs is an attitude of repentance, which means a desire to turn away from their sins, and a little help from you to make a heartfelt request to God for his salvation.

Think back to the words of the thief on the cross in Luke 23:40-43. He first defended Jesus' innocence, and then said to Him, "Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom." That was it! One single sentence. And Jesus replied, "I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise."

He is truly amazing and wonderful!
