History: In 1980 Ted Travis launched a youth outreach ministry in the greater Five Points area of northeast Denver called Neighborhood Ministries. He was driven by a question posed by his friend and mentor John Perkins: “How do we build incentive in our youth?” Finding the answer to this question became a defining quest for Ted and Neighborhood Ministries.Gradually a new kind of youth outreach emerged. Ted and his staff pressed biblical principles and tried-in-the-trenches strategies into a distinct philosophy of youth development, called Transformational Discipleship.In 2010 Ted completed his doctoral work and graduated from Bakke Graduate University. His dissertation subject was Urban Youth Leadership Development: Animating Leadership Capacity Among Youth Native to Higher-Risk Communities. The dissertation marked the end of a quest that began three decades before, and the launch of a new mission to churches and leaders serving youth in hard places around the world.
