Hi Jim,
Now that I got logistics out of the way, I appreciate your thoughts about approaching your friend.
Perhaps, you should first determine where your friend is at whether is happy with his or her life. A possible way to bring up the subject, is to share in confidence that you have another friend who is unhappy or unsatisfied with their existence, and want to solicit some ideas how to help him or her out of depression or negative situation. Hence, you could bring up introducing Christ in their life as a potential option because how much it meant to you and changed your own life in a positive direction. This approach does not place your targeted friend on the spot upfront, but may afford you some sense indirectly whether your friend would be open to the Holy Spirit at this time in their life.
Wish I could say that I tried this approach, but I have not. Just brainstorming, and hopefully, the Spirit had a hand in it.
Blessings in your endeavor,
Richard
