The Mission in Motion
See how Christ In Action lives out its calling — preparing, deploying, and bringing hope to communities in crisis through hands-on service and heart-led ministry.
The Christ In Action Story
Discover how a simple calling grew into a nationwide ministry of hope.
What began as a small church outreach has become a ministry on mission — bringing Christ’s love to families in crisis across America and around the world. This short film shares the story behind Christ In Action’s beginnings, its faithful growth, and the countless lives touched along the way. You’ll see how obedience, prayer, and compassion have shaped a legacy of service that continues to shine His light after every storm.
Building Hope: A Story of
God’s Provision
How faith, prayer, and partnership made a home for the mission.
For years, Christ In Action searched for a place to call home — a permanent headquarters to equip volunteers, store relief supplies, and coordinate deployments. What began as a $4.1 million building plan became a story of God’s miraculous provision.
Through divine timing and generous hearts, CIA acquired a 40,000-square-foot facility and six acres of land — completely debt-free. Volunteers, donors, and partners came together to renovate, restore, and transform the property into a base of hope.
As Founder Denny Nissley shares, every nail, every prayer, and every dollar reflects the faithfulness of God and the people who make this ministry possible.

This short film takes you behind the scenes of a typical day on deployment, from early morning meal prep to lights out after a full day of relief work. You’ll see volunteers cooking, worshiping, serving in the field, and returning home tired but thankful — united by one mission: to bring the hope of Christ to those who need it most.

The Pentagon Relief Effort – A Sacred Response in a Time of Unthinkable Loss
Experience how light broke through the darkness as Christ In Action responded to one of our nation’s darkest days—serving at the Pentagon in the wake of 9/11 with faith, compassion, and courage.
When the unthinkable happened on September 11, 2001, Christ In Action answered the call to serve. Within hours of the attack on the Pentagon, volunteers mobilized to feed, comfort, and pray with first responders, military personnel, and grieving families.
Amid the devastation, a tent city rose from the ashes—a place of warmth and hope where weary workers found rest and renewal. For weeks, the Red Shirt Family served over 55,000 meals, stood shoulder to shoulder with those carrying the weight of a nation’s grief, and reminded all who gathered there that Christ was present, even in the darkest days.
This short film reflects on that sacred mission—where faith met tragedy, and the love of Christ turned heartbreak into healing.
Global Expansion: K180 London
See how Christ In Action’s calling grew beyond U.S. borders—igniting a movement to share the Gospel across Europe.
Born from a divine encounter and a shared passion for street evangelism, K180 began in London through the partnership between Martin Durham and CIA’s founder, Denny Nissley. What started as one man stepping out in faith became a ministry training and equipping young evangelists to boldly proclaim Christ throughout Europe.
This short film takes you inside K180’s mission—where leaders are raised, hearts are turned toward Jesus, and the next generation of believers are equipped to bring the Gospel to the nations.
