We pray for him nightly to seek closeness with the Lord, but he has literally never heard the gospel as he was raised Buddhist. I've used a particular Bible studies and love it, but I don't want to overwhelm my dad...since he really doesn't seem to believe in God.  We have come into our faith (myself and young son) in Christ over the last 2 years.
