God’s Littlest Angels 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 in Fermathe. Because of her size, she was not given much of a chance for survival.

With the parents’ permission, Dixie took the baby home.  John put his skills to work making an incubator out of a cardboard box and a heating pad.  At the time, Dixie didn’t have access to IV supplies, so she kept the baby alive by feeding her with an eye dropper every two hours.  Within four days, she was drinking from a doll bottle. After four months, Angel Noël  went home to her parents.  We kept in contact with Angel Noël for many years.  We have not heard from her family since the earthquake of 2010 displaced so many people in Port-au-Prince, but we continue to pray that her family is still safe and well.
