Going Further Together with GREAT NEIGHBORS LIKE Chip & Joanna Gaines
Going Further Together - the theme of the 2019 Spring Sale – is lived out in real life by Chip and Joanna Gaines. Chip and Jo seem to have driven the transformation of their hometown city of Waco, Texas, all the while sharing their good humor, fun personalities, love of family and their commitment to the saving grace of Jesus Christ. We all know them from the hit HGTV show, Fixer Upper. They make us laugh. They amaze us with their unique style and talents. Then, they remind us that we can do great things together when we set out to do them together. Chip & Joanna’s story is one of entrepreneurialism; working with neighbors & other local business owners to build a like-minded grassroots community; long hours & hard work; a resolve to thrive rather than simply survive; helping others achieve their dreams and goals, while maintaining a focus on and commitment to spending time with their children. These are building blocks of a successful team, family and business.
We are so proud to work with Chip & Joanna. “ They are not only our neighbors, but we share so much in common in terms of values, mission and Christian faith. Bob McClaren
