GLA was founded by John and Dixie Bickel on Christmas Day, 1994, when a 1 pound 15 ounce baby was born at the local mission hospital. Because of her size, she was not given much of a chance for survival. Angel Noël survived and went home to her parents in April of 1995. She is now in grade school and is very bright and outgoing. Doctors and clinics refer babies that are in need of intensive nursing care and nutritional support to us. GLA has developed from a Child Survival Center that cares only for premature, malnourished and abandoned infants under 2 years old into an orphanage that facilitates adoptions for children of all ages.
