A very nice way would be to write the person a short letter in which you write directly from your heart. Tell the person why you admire their Christian behaviors. What sets them apart in your eyes. Say what stands out for you about how they treat other people. Express your desire to have the person be your Christian role model. This letter will mean so much to the person for many years to come.
