Wilma Zalabak, D.Min., is a professional pastor and speaker, called to the ministry at age twelve. Besides the Bible and spirituality, her specialty is listening and communication skills.
Wilma Zalabak was born in north Georgia, grew up on a Wisconsin farm, and returned to Georgia for her adult life. She recently celebrated her twenty-seventh anniversary as president of The Atlanta Listenary, Inc., a company she created to teach and surround herself with those who practice listening as a gift.
