My wifes brother is not adventist.
When he first started to have anything to do with me, he understood my request to not do any work on my property on Sabbath, but, a couple years ago, he had a stroke.

Since then, he has difficulty understanding my requests, and since my wife isn't adventist either, it makes it even more difficult to deal with it.

My wife, for the most part, understands and yields to my request, unless it has to do with her brother.

He is in a very delicate position, he suffered the stroke, and has had surgery 3 times for major blockage in his carotid arteries, making his cognitive functions shaky at best.

How do I witness to him without putting a wall batween he and I?
He was listening until after his last surgery, I think he had another stroke while on the operating table.

He is a good man, and very caring about family, he knows I can't do a lot of the things I used to because of my heart.

However, he seems to alweays pick the sabbath to do them.
Most often when I am away from home.
What can I do?
How can I do it?>
His heart is in the right place, just not his mind.

Happy Sabbath, Brother Gerry

I just wanted to ask a couple of things to clarify it in my mind. Are you saying you have talked with your brother-in-law about this situation since his last surgery? and does he only do the work on your property when you aren't at home? (Which, trying to look at it in the best possible light, could be saying that he hears what you are saying but that he doesn't understand that it's not that you don't want to see him work on your property on Sabbath but that you don't want him to work on your property on Sabbath at all!!]

Don't know if your responses to these questions will help me come up with a response to yours but they are the first things that came to mind as I read your post.

He comes when I'm asleep ( illness ) or when I'm away.
Usually it's to mow my yard.
I can't keep up with it as it grows like crazy because of all the rain we have had this year.

Yesterday ( sabbath) he came while I was home, I had asked him to come over during the week or even on Sunday, he has to deliver papers on Sat and Sun.

I hear on;ly half of what goes on, and by the time I realized what he was doing, he was done.

My neighbor mows his lawn every Sat. and it sounds as loud as when he was here.

How do I broach this with him and not offend?
I want to share more than the sabbath with him. I'd like to share Christ and all He has done for him as well.
Thanks,
Gerry

Gerry
How about getting him the Jesus Video.

Try online or ABC, It is not SDA made, so you might want to see it first, and then decide.

However checkout LLT's website & see what might intrest you.
