Nine to Five is a Ministry of Nairobi Chapel Ngong Road mandated to impact the six sectors of society for lasting transformation.
OUr Vision
All work, in all sectors, done unto Christ.
Why we Exist
We exist to equip and empower all Christians in all sectors to integrate their faith and their day-to-day work.
We disciple Christians in the marketplace to understand that their individual and collective work is part of God's plan to redeem and renew all things and we resource them to take redemptive action where God has placed them.
Our Desire
We desire to see Christians influence and impact the marketplace individually and collectively, to biblically transform their workplaces, communities, sectors, our city and our country.
A Work Manifesto for Citizens of the City of God
We are not merely building businesses and careers; we are building cities.
Not of steel and stone alone, but of values, convictions, and eternal purpose. We are citizens of the City of God—called, commissioned, and sent into the City of Man, not to conform, but to transform.
1. We believe work is worship. Our professions and enterprises are not secular side pursuits, but called all of it good.
2. We reject the false divide between sacred and secular. There are not two worlds—one for Sunday and one for Monday. There is only one Lord, one life, one Kingdom. We will no longer leave Every decision, deal, and design is discipleship.
3. We pursue holiness in the hustle. We will strive for the holiness “without which no one will see the Lord” (Hebrews 12:14). Not only in private devotion, but in hiring, pricing, paying, pitching, and leading. Integrity is not optional. Justice is not an add-on. Love is not a liability.
4. We confess Christ as King of the marketplace. owners, but stewards. We surrender our ambitions and strategies to His sovereign hand. Success, for us, is obedience to His will.
5. We seek the welfare of the earthly city—but our allegiance is higher.
We invest in our communities, nations, and economies. But our ultimate loyalty is to the eternal City of God, whose Architect and Builder is the Lord (Hebrews 11:10). Where injustice thrives, we will not stay silent. Where corruption reigns, we will resist.
6. We build for eternity. We do not just start businesses—we shape culture. We do not just plant seeds for eternal impact.

A Heavenly Vision for Work
“Do not take advantage of each other, but fear your God. I am the LORD your God.” — (Leviticus 25:17, NIV)

In the book of Leviticus, God gives the Israelites a vision—a blueprint—for a Justice, compassion, and integrity weren’t optional; they were foundational.
If God’s concern for all of our lives is as true now as it was then, wouldn’t He also care deeply about the impact of how you work, lead, create, and
A Business Rooted in Community
One of the clearest themes in Leviticus is community — the interconnectedness of God’s people. The Israelites weren’t seen as isolated individuals but as a people responsible for one another.
Consider the Jubilee (Leviticus 25)—a radical economic reset every 50 years where land was returned, debts were forgiven, and no family was

19:10-13)

Love Your Neighbor as Yourself
(Leviticus 19:18, 33–34)
Seek out ways to build a workplace culture that is a witness to God’s character and vision for community. Empathy, generosity and mutuality themselves and recognize their role in a larger purpose.
Do Good While Doing Business
(Leviticus 19:9–10)
Invest in the local community that exists beyond the “four-walls” of your organization, and has the potential to be positively impacted by your the vulnerable and marginalized.
Businesses are more than just engines for economic growth. Where you work is a sacred space to embody God’s justice, extend His compassion, you have the opportunity to take one faithful step toward making your workplace or business a glimpse of heaven on earth.

City of God, City of Man
“Two loves have made two cities: the love of God unto the contempt of self, the earthly by the love of self unto the contempt of God.” — St. Augustine, Book XIV, Chapter 28
We’ve all felt the tension—church on Sunday, where we speak of holiness and surrender, and then Monday rolls in, bringing the grind, the goals, and the gray areas. The workplace can feel like a different world, where the sacred seems non-existent and achieving goals or getting ahead often demands that we compromise. Facing a marketplace culture that doesn’t lend itself to the exhortations of Sunday, we consciously and subconsciously put selfpractices. The dilemmas we face often don’t have attractive solutions, and like it was the “best” outcome.
But this disconnect is not new. St. Augustine, the ancient African bishop, wrote about it in The City of God. He contrasted the City of God—where people live under God’s rule—with the City of Man—where self-interest and ambition reign. This battle still wages in our hearts: do we live by God’s
Holiness in the Hustle
Hebrews 12:14 urges us to “strive for... the holiness without which no one will see the Lord.” That holiness isn’t just about personal piety or spiritual moments; it’s meant to shape every boardroom, every budget, every business deal. I don’t know about you, but I long to work in a place where the culture of the City of God reigns supreme. Where colleagues treat each pursued with integrity. When our weekday practices align with our Sunday faith, we begin to see the City of God break into the marketplace.
1. Pause, Process, Notice and Grow
Consider building a daily practice of reviewing the day to recognize God’s presence, give thanks, notice patterns, and seek growth. As you grow in awareness of your everyday life, you begin to see patterns in your behavior—what gives life, what drains it, where you stumble, and where you thrive. Over time, your discernment deepens, and you become more attuned to your motivations and to God’s guidance in the moment.

Is Your Faith Clocking O ut When You Clock-In?
“Christian professionals are the biggest impediments or blockage to good governance in Kenya.” — Justice Richard Mwongo
Justice Richard Mwongo’s words sting—but perhaps they should. His observation exposes a painful truth: too many of us compartmentalize our lives, shining bright on Sunday but dimming our light by Monday and therefore, our witness.
Hebrews 12:14 exhorts us to “strive for peace with everyone, and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord.” Holiness isn’t just a personal virtue—it’s public evidence of God’s presence. When we separate our spiritual convictions from our professional conduct, we rob our workplaces and the wider marketplace of the very transformation God intends to bring through us.
“[So] why is it that professed Christians dutifully sit in church . . . and then a suspicion that one factor is the starved imagination.
The truths of Scripture have never permeated their imaginations.” We know that the Scriptures call us to “work as unto the Lord” (Colossians 3:23) but how do we cultivate the ability to envision what God would have us do in

This isn’t just some feel-good philosophy, it’s a divine imperative. God calls and He commands us to encourage one another and build one another up. And it has practical implications for our workplaces. When we value people and express gratitude, we foster a culture of dignity and respect. We
How can we cultivate an attitude of gratitude?
1. Acknowledge the Good: Make a conscious effort to notice the positive aspects of your day and the contributions of others. Pay attention to the small acts of kindness and service that often go unnoticed.
2. Verbalize Your Thanks: Don’t just feel grateful, express it! A simple “thank you” can go a long way.
3. Become an Encourager: Actively look for opportunities to build others up. Offer praise, recognize strengths, celebrate accomplishments.
4. Shift Your Focus: learned, and opportunities for growth. A grateful perspective helps reframe negativity into something meaningful.
5. Create an Action Plan: Make gratitude a deliberate practice. Jot down the things and people you’re thankful for each day and why. Write thank-you notes. Schedule regular check-ins with colleagues to express appreciation and provide encouragement.

unassuming. It doesn’t demand applause or the spotlight. Instead, it shows up in courage, in humility, and in the unwavering choice to obey God and serve others—especially when it comes at great personal cost. Colman Mockler, the late CEO of Gillette, it seems, understood this in a way few CEOs ever do. He was, in many ways, a shepherd in a pinstripe suit.
Humility and Will
In his landmark book Good to Great, business thinker Jim Collins explores he calls “moral imagination”—a blend of intense personal will and deep humility. Colman Mockler, a devout Christian and family man, stood out as one such leader.
During the 1990s, Mockler faced a series of hostile takeover attempts that threatened the very identity of Gillette. These offers would have made him millions—he stood to gain a 44% increase on his already substantial stock and receive a generous severance package. But Mockler chose a different of thousands of employees is at stake,” he said. To Mockler, leadership wasn’t just about maximizing shareholder value in the short term—it was about protecting the people who made the company what it was: the global Gillette family. shareholders, urging them to think beyond immediate returns and invest in the long-term vision.

Think Long-Term: Resist the temptation to compromise for immediate gains. Don’t trade lasting impact for short-term success. Build what will endure.

lasting, redemptive change?
1. Cultivate Deep Friendships: Invest in meaningful relationships. True friends provide accountability, encouragement, and support through life’s ups and downs. These relationships are the bedrock of lasting impact.
2. Embrace a Long-Term Perspective: Don’t get discouraged by the slow pace of change. Real transformation takes time—sometimes generations. Trust that God is working in ways you may not see.
3. Resist Ethical “Exit Ramps”: pursue deeper goals, even when it’s hard or inconvenient.
4. See your fellow “impact-makers” not as competitors, but as collaborators. Rejoice in their victories and recognize their contributions to the collective good.

Ministry of Monday: The Unexpected Priest
Ministry of Monday: The Unexpected Priest
“I believe God made me for a purpose… He also made me fast, and when I run, I feel His pleasure.” — Eric Liddell, Olympian & Missionary
Imagine a garbage collector, hauling bins on a sweltering morning. A judge, presiding over a tense courtroom. Imagine a teacher, patiently explaining
They are all priests. Unexpected ones. No, not in robes with incense and rituals, but in a deeper, more pervasive way. As followers of Christ, we carry His presence into every space we enter—into classrooms, courtrooms, boardrooms, garbage routes, and running tracks.
The apostle Peter puts it this way:
“You are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light” (1 Peter 2:9).
Jesus’ redemptive work has made ALL God’s people priests to serve Him (Revelation 5:10). Our workplaces and spaces are our altar. Our actions, our offering. In this sacred calling, we don’t just do work — we minister through it.

“I think God went after the very thing that could become a mammon stronghold in my life… He said He wants that.” — Bertie Lourens,
CEO of Wasteplan
As entrepreneurs, we invest deeply—our time, talent, resources, and even our identity—into the businesses we build. We dream big, hustle hard, and celebrate each milestone with pride. And rightly so. Entrepreneurship is a beautiful expression of the creative spark God has placed within us.
But here’s the sobering truth: while we may shape the business, it’s not our business—it’s God’s.
Look at the universe. God spoke galaxies into being, designed ecosystems in perfect harmony, and sculpted humanity in His own image. We, too, are created to create. That same divine imprint is what drives our innovation and vision. But as Founder and Creator of the heavens and the earth and all that is in them, God holds the rights to all of it (Deuteronomy 10:14-17)
Just as God governs and sustains creation, He desires to guide and govern our businesses. We are not owners—we are stewards.

And yet, the pursuit of “more” can be a bottomless pit, even for those with more than enough. The rich fool in Luke 12, for example, obsessed with accumulating grain, planned to build bigger barns and then “relax, eat, drink, and be merry.” But God’s response is a stark warning for us, “You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you.” Fixated on earthly security, he neglected his relationship with God and responsibility to others.
1 Timothy 6:6-8 offers a powerful antidote: “Godliness with contentment is great gain.” True wealth lies not in what we possess, but in our relationship with God and our generosity towards others.

“The one thing most workers have failed to do is bring Jesus into their work lives.” — Os Hillman, Christian Author and Speaker and kitchen sinks. But what if your work—yes, your business, your 9-to5, your side hustle, or your work-from-home gig—was never meant to be Moses understood this well. As the leader of the Israelites, he carried the weight of a nation’s destiny on his shoulders. Yet, he knew one truth: even the most well-orchestrated plans are futile without God’s presence. “If your Presence does not go with us,” Moses pleaded, “do not send us up from here” (Exodus 33:15).
You may not be parting seas or leading a nation, but your daily work is organization, or managing a household, your work matters. And like Moses, you need God’s presence and work with Him every step of the way.
