“Well I guess. What do you have here some sorta religious propaganda? I think I’ll just look it over and see if they still have it right. My mother was religious. She prayed for me all the time. She was a good woman, God rest her soul.”
“What ‘cha readin’?”
“I’m reading what that young man left for me, fool.”
“Oh yeah, what’s it say?”
“It says if you trust Jesus as your Savior and ask him to be your Lord believin’ Him to be the Son of God; he’ll save your sorry soul.”
“Oh I heard that all my life, just don’t know about it.”
“Why not my mother was a good woman, God rest her soul; she always told people exactly what this says.”
“You ever done that?”
“Done what?”
“What it says, trust in Jesus as Savior askin’ Him to be your Lord, believin’ Him to be God’s Son, so he can save your sorry soul?”
“Nah, but my mother was a good woman…”
“Well why not?”
“I don’t really know, you ever done that?”
“Nah, me neither. You want to?”
“Sure; how ‘bout you, you want to?”
“Guess it wouldn’t hurt nothin’.”

Brian smiled to himself as he breathed a prayer for the two aged gentlemen. He relied on tracts to help him present the Gospel because he had only been a believer for a short time. He followed the printed scriptures and carefully explained to the two men how they could be reconciled to God, Brian. Soul winning was truly a great adventure!

It's easier for the reader to follow a piece like this if you include not only dialogue, but descriptions of the action, the speakers, the surroundings. Or if you want to keep it all-dialogue, consider writing it like a skit, with the speakers' names preceding each speech. Then we don't get lost figuring out who's who.
Your adventurer is to be admired for stepping out!
