Years ago a fellow worker on a job in Utah befriended me, but I found he was only friendly because he wanted to conert me. The job was forty miles from town and I accepted aride home in his pickup when he started preaching. After that I drove my own truck to work.

As Christians we are to be “ambassadors” for Christ. That is an obligation of a Christian.That's OK if your audience isn't captive audience. I am a Jew and we decided long ago no to try to convert others. If they come asking to join us, we welcome them, but if not we respect them.

Esther 8 v 17:

And in every province, and in every city, whithersoever the king's commandment and his decree came, the Jews had joy and gladness, a feast and a good day. And many of the people of the land became Jews; for the fear of the Jews fell upon them.

He'd be TRAPPED in his truck and have to listen to MY preaching as well!
