Designed to fit in the palm of your hand, on a desk, or virtually anywhere, this figurine serves as a constant reminder of Jesus, something we ALL need. Whether it’s on a kitchen counter, office desk, or nightstand, it quietly communicates one message: Jesus is here, and He loves you.

Why Pastors Are Using It

Pastors around the country are discovering that this simple figurine opens doors—spiritually and relationally.

Here’s how:

It starts conversations – Members tell us they’ve had meaningful spiritual discussions simply because someone asked, “What’s that little Jesus?”

It encourages daily faith – The figurine serves as a gentle, visual reminder to pray, trust, and stay grounded in God’s Word. (consider: keep your eyes fixed on Jesus).

It’s great for kids and families – Parents love using the figurine to teach little ones about Jesus in a way that feels approachable and fun.

How You Can Introduce It in Your Church

1. Use it in sermons or devotions. Tie the figurine into a message about Christ’s ever-present love or our daily walk with Him. Use it as a visual aid to reinforce Scripture.

2. Offer it as a gift. Include it in welcome packets for visitors, give it to children during VBS, or hand it out during special seasons like Advent or Easter. It’s also a meaningful keepsake for baptism, first communion, or confirmation.

3. Encourage members to share it. Ask your church family to place their Little Jesus figurine somewhere visible and be ready to share the story behind it. You’ll be surprised how this little item can help spark big conversations.

Our family shares them saying “Everyone needs a little Jesus in their life”
