While working high above the ground, an electrical technician made a small gesture that is now moving thousands on social media: leaving small images of Jesus behind for fellow workers to find during their day.
TikTok user “limitededition135” shared a video of himself carrying out his usual work among electrical wires. In the clip, the worker can be seen gluing small images of Jesus while being filmed by a colleague.
“Leaving Jesus for another lineman to find. Amen,” he says.
A lineman is a worker who specializes in installing, repairing, and maintaining power lines and energy transmission systems.

Although the job is physically demanding and high-risk — often requiring workers to operate at great heights, endure extreme weather conditions, and work near high-voltage cables — this technician doesn’t miss an opportunity to evangelize.
Perhaps that is why his simple gesture has touched the hearts of thousands online.
The video has already surpassed half a million views and accumulated more than 85,000 likes, along with hundreds of comments from users who appreciated this simple but meaningful way of sharing faith in the middle of everyday work.
“Imagine being the next lineman, having a terrible day, and coming across that. Amen =)”
“I do this too! Although at ground level — not while I’m knocking on heaven’s door and talking to Saint Peter.”
“I love it. I always carry several with me when I leave home so I can leave them wherever I go.”
“I love it! Your job is very dangerous. Thank you for everything you do!”
How Can I Replicate This Gesture at Work?
Maybe our jobs do not involve climbing electrical poles or working suspended high above the ground, but we can all find simple ways to evangelize in everyday life.
Here are a few examples:
- Leave a note with an encouraging message or Bible verse in a common area.
- Carry a small religious image, holy card, or rosary to give to someone who may need it.
- Offer help to a co-worker going through a difficult time.
- Share words of hope instead of constant complaints or criticism.
- Pray silently for your co-workers before starting the workday.
Sometimes, the smallest gestures can become powerful signs of hope for those who need it most.
