The Unseen Corners: Where We Least Expect
Often, we reserve our religious symbols for places of worship or traditional spots within our homes. But what if we took a different approach? Placing these mini Jesus figurines in the least likely places can serve as a gentle nudge, a momentary pause in our day to reconnect with our faith. It’s in the drawer of your office desk, the glove compartment of your car, or tucked away in your suitcase during travels. (See full list below) These figures bid us to remember that spirituality isn’t confined to certain locations or times; it’s a constant, a companion on our journey.
You Shouldn’t Hide Jesus
The message is clear: you shouldn’t hide Jesus. His teachings and love are meant to be shared and experienced openly. By placing these figurines in plain sight, we’re encouraged to live out our faith in every action and interaction. It’s a call to be a living testament to the values Jesus embodied – love, kindness, and compassion.
Jesus is always there
Jesus is always there. He is omnipresence. He will never leave us, not forsake us.
Other names
The mini or little Jesus figurines you’re referring to are often known as “Pocket Jesus” or “Traveler’s Jesus”. They are small, portable figurines that people carry with them or hide as part of a game or religious practice.
These figurines can also be used in religious education, as party favors, or as Easter egg stuffers during the holiday season. They are designed to be a reminder of faith and are popular among various Christian communities.
A Reminder: A Little Jesus Goes a Long Way
A small figurine of Jesus can have a big impact. It’s a visual and physical representation of our beliefs, a tangible connection to the divine. It reminds us that even the smallest act of kindness, the simplest word of encouragement, carries the spirit of Jesus’s teachings. It’s a testament to the idea that a little Jesus – goes a long way in bringing light into our lives and the lives of those around us.
Hiding Mini Jesus figurines
A church’s youth group placed two hundred little plastic Jesus toys around their church as a sweet moment for the community¹. These figurines were placed in various locations like by the coffee, on the thermostat, and by the soap dispenser. The idea was that everyone in the church would leave with a little “Jesus” to accompany them through the week¹.
Similarly, another churches had children hide tiny Jesus figures all over the church as a reminder that they are present, fill the hallways and classrooms, and represent the future of the church². This act serves as a symbolic gesture to remind the congregation of the younger generation’s role and presence within the church community.
I placed him there. Watched a few customer look at the mini Jesus. Saw to employees just glance and kept walking by. I’d like to stay longer to see how long the mini Jesus would stay, but I was on lunch break and had to go back to work. I was in the place maybe 20 minutes.
These activities are not just limited to churches but can extend to other places like schools and stores, creating a strong Jesus atmosphere and serving as a reminder of the Christian faith everyday³. Such as these shown in this blog post.

It’s important to note that these figurines are symbolic and serve as a reminder of faith; they are not meant to be worshipped themselves. The practice seems to be a creative way to engage communities, especially children, in faith-based activities and to bring a sense of joy and reflection on the presence of Christ in various aspects of life.

Add gospel tracts
Maybe you can add a gospel tract along with the mini Jesusqit figurine. That way you can add a gospel presentation along with the little Jesus. Make sure it’s a sound Biblical gospel tract.
When offering gospel tracts or miniature Jesus figurines, it’s important to also provide a customary tip if one is expected. These items should not replace the financial gratuity that service workers rely on.
You can find these mini Jesus figurines usually on Amazon, Oriental Trading, and other places online. 
In conclusion, these mini Jesus figurines are more than just ornaments; they are bids for us to carry Jesus with us, in all places and at all times. They remind us that our faith isn’t just for the moments we expect but also for the moments we don’t. Let’s embrace the journey, placing a little Jesus in the places we least expect, and watch as His love and teachings subtly transform our everyday lives.
