I have a number of people at work that are non-Christian. (About half).

Some are outwardly a-moral. Others hide it well.

Many of them, though, are dilligent, can carry on work well, and enjoy talking with me to a limited extent.

I find that I personally need to talk "more" with them, though the time I do spend is often work related.

We have made it a point to take them out to lunch, two at a time, and "just have lunch" together.

They are not outwardly disrespectful, but conversations can become interesting.

And, interestingly, most of them don't mind too much about talking about "good things", or even moral things in a helpful light.

I think we should be "salt and light" to them, and that is not always just telling them to "repent or perish."

If they don't trust me, often they won't ever "go" to the Christian stuff, or ask the hard questions.
