Throught this year I have pretty much been steadily losing a friendship with a really close friend of mine.
He has progressively been spending more and more time with people who are influencing the way he speaks, what he does and just his all round character. I don't know what I can do directly as a Christian friend because it's like he just seems to get offended and then avoid me altogether, which is something I don't want. I know this cannot be fixed immediately and will take time, but apart from intensely and constantly praying to God (which I am doing), what are some practical strategies to draw a lost friend back to Christ? |

Don't yell at him head on that what he doing is completely wrong, try to get him to spend time with you and in turn become the better influence on him than his other friends.

Don't talk about it; be his friend.
Seriously, pushing and prodding just makes people resent others. |

act Christian. ask him how he feels, invite him to youth group here and there, if he doesnt want to talk about it say you respect that, pray for him. Father, Lord Jesus Christ, Holy Spirit please heal this friend and everyone on this site who has pain or illness or problemes. In Jesus Christ the Lord's Name, amen

It would probably help people if you would provide any details at all about the situation.
