LeNora Bates-Thomas

About the Author

LeNora Bates-Thomas was raised up with four brothers and three sisters, in which all except one are still living today. Her parents, Andrew and Joan Bates, came from two different states and backgrounds yet, in unity, raised eight children, including a miracle they named LeNora. She was known as a miracle because of her inner strength despite the critical illnesses she lived with including epilepsy, Chiari malformation, and endometriosis. During a time in LeNora’s life when she only regained a certain percentage of memory after brain surgery, her inner strength and relationship with God helped restore her life and drew her closer to God. Today, she lives in the natural state of Arkansas, married to Bobby Thomas, and is a retired administrator pastor and the founder of Chiari Warriors of Little Rock.
