GED TESING DATE:
On March 1, 2006, Rev. Jose Lantigua hosted a GED preparation practice test in his church (1800 Grand Concourse, Bronx, New York). The practice test was conducted by Professor Martin Danenberg. Thirty one people attended.
The time and date of the free testing were advertised in the ‘El Dario’ newspaper.
Keep checking this site for the next free GED testing date and location with Professor Danenberg.
Our ability to provide programs such as these is contingent upon our ability to underwrite the cost through offerings. Be patient with us; this is a big challenge.
We challenge all the churches in the New York City area to stand behind MAPP and ensure that all our sons and daughters earn their GED.
We are aggressively taking steps to educate our children and improve literacy.

“El Quijote del GED”
I went to Rikers Correctional Facility to take photos of the banner of Captain Bonilla’s radio show for inmates and the families on Radio Vision Cristina (Vapors of Faith), but I ended up speaking about GED to 31 inmates, approximately 10 of whom need a GED.
I met an African American who has a CDL license and needs the GED to get a job. I told him and a few others that the GED can be passed easily by knowing measurements and the basic operations well, by
writing an essay of about five paragraphs, and by knowing how to read effectively. I made 31 new friends about the inmates. My information can be passed out to the inmates in the future to motivate them effectively to begin their studies and take the test as quickly as possible. This information can help tens of thousands more inmates pass the GED in prisons each year. The same information can be passed on to their loved ones outside of jail to make them stronger and more hopeful about their future.

“El Quijote del GED”
Everyone who leaves Rikers Correctional Facility can see, in blue and white, a sign that gives hope to the incarcerated and their loved ones.
The tears have been shed by the tens of thousands or more, but not enough hope has been dispensed by system. “VAPORS OF FAITH…Friday 11:15 P.M 133O AM RADIO www.RadioVision.net
The message of Radio Visión Cristiana Internacional reaches more than 26 million people around the world, but the sign outside Rikers should be outside every correctional facility in the United States and Puerto Rico. Retired Captain Alfonso Bonilla delivers a powerful message of faith and hope that has been shaped by years of success. His method is to saturate the facility of 2,400 inmates with tracks from the Bible. Only 31 were present in the gym where he gave his sermon, but by word of mouth and the distribution of the tracks, the whole facility will learn that Christ forgives and bring peace to everyone in that small city.
Pastor Matías Marcano, who has had his own pastoral ministry for almost three decades and who is a member of the Board of Radio Visión spoke about his experiences to the inmates and Profesor Martin spoke about the GED for the inmates and their loved ones. You can tune in, too, to Bonilla.
