Okay so I went to YEC and I got inspired to creat something called the Downtown Project... What this includes is going out to downtown Houston and preach to drug addicts and such... Yet I don't know how to get something like this started cause three of my friends and I want to reach out to our generation. What steps much we go through to get this started?

So, you wish to replace an addiction with a superstition? Why? In some ways, the superstition is just as harmful as the addiction.
Given the repression that religion foists on society and the idiodic taboos it pushes, it probably does more to force people into such addiction than anything else.

Great ambition. You need to team up with a local church. This is too big and dangerous for you to attempt with just a couple friends. Why duplicate something someone else has started. You can also contact "Teen Challenge." They may have a ministry already started. They have many years of minstering to people with drug addiction. Preaching is not enough. It takes time to get thru it.

Go to areas where they hang out. Bring coffee, bottled water, sandwiches, toiletries, etc... Talk to them, give them tracts or Bibles. Treat them with the utmost respect. Bring a list of shelters, rescue missions and service agencies so you can give them an alternative to the street.
It may take a while for them to trust you, but many will come around. You won't be able to solve all their problems. SO just plant seeds and offer comfort and a sympathetic ear. The love and respect you show them is the most crucial part.
We've done this a few times and it has been a rewarding experience!

Why were Zionists Dancing on 9/11 ?
THERE was ruin and terror in Manhattan, but, over the Hudson River in New Jersey, a handful of men were dancing. As the World Trade Centre burned and crumpled, the five men celebrated and filmed the worst atrocity ever committed on American soil as it played out before their eyes.
By 4pm on the afternoon of September 11, the van was spotted near New Jersey’s Giants stadium. A squad car pulled it over and inside were five men in their 20s. They were hustled out of the car with guns levelled at their heads and handcuffed.
In the car was $4700 in cash, a couple of foreign passports and a pair of box cutters – the concealed Stanley Knife-type blades used by the 19 hijackers who’d flown jetliners into the World Trade Centre and Pentagon just hours before. There were also fresh pictures of the men standing with the smouldering wreckage of the Twin Towers in the background. One image showed a hand flicking a lighter in front of the devastated buildings, like a fan at a pop concert. The driver of the van then told the arresting officers: “We are Israeli. We are not your problem. Your problems are our problems. The Palestinians are the problem.”

Pray! Pray for God to show you what to do and where to go. Also talk to your pastors, maybe they can give some practical suggestions. If this is something God put on your heart, do make sure to follow through. God bless...
