Some things that you can do to help this process would be to simply show your faith my your actions. Be an example by your words and actions. Help out a person that has dropped something, me patient and kind to those that would normally recieve anger. And say things that are encouraging and not hurtful. That alone will help in sharing your faith with a friend. They will realize that you aren't just saying the words and doing something else, but you are full-heartedly living the life that you say they should live, and that having the faith changes a persons whole life.
Another thing that you can do to be an effective witness would be to admit that you may not be right or that you could be wrong. Saying these two frazes can help "relax" a converstaion so that the friend doesn't feel attacked or just being lectured to. It helps with the overall conversation. It also lets the friend know that you don't have all the answers and that being a Christian and having the faith is all about the journey you take and finding the answers through reading the Bible and studying everything about Him. Overall just having a positive, non confrentational mood helps greatly in your attempts to help your friend find the faith.
