Jean-Paul Escalera has been in ministry for 45 years. He and his wife Melody met and married in England when he was serving in the USAF. They have been married for almost 57 years. They have six children (1 with the Lord) and 19 grandchildren and one great-grandchild.

Their time of service has included church-planting in England, Scotland, and Germany. For a number of years they served in churches revitalizing them and bringing them to where they could call a pastor again in Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Colorado.

Jean-Paul also served as a Baptist pastor in Cheyenne, WY for five years.

Now, retired from full-time missionary work and serving as members at Yellowstone Baptist Church, it is the privilege of our church to call him to serve as one of our newest elders.
