“We’ve put together this list of frequently asked questions to help guide you through the heart behind the I Found Tiny Jesus movement. Our hope is that these answers offer a little clarity, and maybe even a little encouragement, as you explore what this project is all about. If your question isn’t listed here, please feel free to reach out. We believe every question has purpose, and every conversation brings us one step closer to spreading more hope.”
The Tiny Jesus project is a grassroots movement meant to inspire hope and connection through small, symbolic figurines left in public places. Each figurine invites the finder to share their story, pass it forward, or simply carry a reminder that they are not alone.
The project was created by an individual who wanted to transform a simple moment of inspiration into a widespread act of kindness and spiritual encouragement. You can read the full story on the "Our Story" page.
While inspired by a Christian symbol, the movement is more about spreading hope, kindness, and love than promoting any specific religious doctrine.
Not at all. This project welcomes everyone, regardless of background or belief. The focus is on human connection and acts of compassion.
It refers to the ripple effect of even the smallest acts of love. One moment of kindness can travel far.
No. It’s an independent movement inspired by hope and love.

Yes. Share stories, help spread the message online, or support through other creative means.
Tell your friends. Leave figurines. Share your moment. The more people who know, the farther hope travels.
You’re encouraged to take a moment, reflect, and if you feel comfortable, share your experience on the Story Gallery page. Some people keep theirs, others pass them along. There’s no wrong way to participate.
That’s okay. The moment still mattered. The impact is in the experience.
Sometimes people leave notes or take pictures of where they found them. It means someone else found hope there, too.
That may happen, and it’s okay. The purpose is to spread hope—what happens afterward is out of our hands.
We strive to keep the message neutral, uplifting, and inclusive. But not everyone may connect with it, and that’s okay.
Be safe and respectful. Avoid private property, religious institutions (unless permitted), or dangerous areas.
Stick them to the bottom of your Tiny Jesus figurines. They link back to the project so others can learn more or share their stories.
We recommend 1”x1” labels, printable on standard 8.5x11 sticker stock. A downloadable sheet is available on the “Join the Movement” page.
Yes, but you’ll need to glue or tape them to the figurines. Instructions are included with the label download.
You’re welcome to create your own QR code labels if they still link back to the project and maintain the spirit of kindness.
Yes, but small figurines may be a choking hazard. Keep out of reach of very young children.
No, but the project name, label design, and website content are protected.
Not without written permission. Contact us through the site.
Yes! Use #TinyJesusBigImpact or #IFoundTinyJesus
