About the Founder

The former Angela Dickerson, a servant of our Lord and Savior was born in Talladega, Alabama. She confessed Christ at an early age and joined the Lilly Hill Missionary Baptist Church under the pasturage of the late Minister Frank Cunningham.

A 1979 graduate of Talladega High School, Angela was destined for greatness. Throughout her adolescent years she was reared in a church environment. A must attend Sunday school was one of the prerequisite that her mother instilled in her children. At age 12, she and several young girls from the Westgate Housing Projects formed a spiritual group called The Young Stars. The Young Stars was a popular group in the 70's. Their ages range from 5-15 years old.

On January 22, 1983, Angela married her best friend, William C. Hewlett. Now a widow and a devoted single mother, she spends her time witnessing to all who wish to receive God's blessing. She inspires and uplifts others with her testimony.

Angela received her Bachelor of Science degree from the historical Tuskegee (Institute) University in May, 1984 with honors. In the fall of 1985, she was accepted in the MBA program at the University of Alabama in Birmingham. She has excelled in various fields of accounting, entrepreneurship, teaching and salesmanship. She has received numerous awards, plaques, certificates, recognitions, ribbons and trophies in all endeavors. Her favorite past-time is reading, fishing, designing crafts and attending church related activities.

Angela Dickerson Hewlett, a visionary, an entrepreneur and a born again Christian received the baptism of the Holy Spirit on October 8, 2005 at the Women With A Purpose’s 3 day conference in Montgomery, Alabama, founded by the late Minister Lucille Richie. Angela is mindful of the Scripture cited in 2 Corinthians 5:17 (KJV) “therefore if any man be in Christ he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” Under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, Angela is the president and founder of Mela-A-Support Group and the founder of Jesus Saves Bible Ministry.

As a health and spiritual advocate, Angela wants people to know whatever issues they encounter that Mela-A-Support Group is here to be their beacon of light in this dark world as they provide the support needed for spiritual growth and to help others reach their God given purpose. Membership is free and she welcomes all to join as they Empower Lives across America.

Angela furthers her studies, education and training at Trinity Evangelical Christian Ministries. On September 6, 2007, Angela received her diploma in Christian Theology at Grace Bible College & Seminary under the leadership of Bishop Hutcherson. She is a candidate in the Theological Seminary program at Liberty University. Her course of studies is in the Master of Arts in Marketplace Chaplaincy.

Angela’s source of motivation and determination along with the guidance of the Holy Spirit is her beautiful daughter, Angel. She gives God all the credit for placing Angel in her life on February 22, 1998, during a period when she was mourning the death of her baby sister, Brenda.

Angela counts it all joy when she experience trails and tribulations because she knows faith is the substance of things hope for and the evidence of things not seen.

Meet the Co-founder

Hi, I'm Angel Michelle Hewlett.

I am 12 years old and in the sixth grade at Margaret Allen Middle
School in Nashville, Tennessee, where I enjoy playing the clarinet. My mother adopted me when I was 33 months old. I came into her life as a foster child at 14 months old. I enjoy school and have participated in and won various pageants. They are Miss Montgomery East Head start, E. D. Nixon Fall Festival Princess and E. D. Nixon Fall Festival Queen in Montgomery, Alabama. Also, I have received numerous trophies for my participation at the Boys and Girls Club in Montgomery.

I'm glad my mommy and I started this organization on the internet
because we have so much information to share with you. I was born with severe problems and the safe, natural and non-toxic products that we use have alleviated some of those illness. I had developed a severe rash in my head which caused all my hair to fall out. The product we used helped my hair to grow back and the rash was gone. I was also born with asthma.

My mommy threw away all those harmful chemicals in our home and now we use natural, non- toxic products. I'm able to breathe better and I don't spend time in the emergency room any more. At the age of 7, I was diagnosed with ADHD. Again, my mommy feels safe giving me vitamins that are natural and harmless. You are welcome to join us as we empower, encourage and enhance lives across America.
