Have you seen the documentary Pint-sized Preachers? If you did, what were your thoughts?

Just an hour ago I saw a few minutes of a documentary, aired on NatGeo, about pint-sized preachers.
“Now, aged four, he [Kanon] dresses in a suit and tie to perform, shouting about Jesus and ‘the red-hot revival’ with a handkerchief in hand to wipe away his sweat.
‘The Lord is here tonight — and his name is Jesus!’’ he can be heard chanting in one video. ‘There’s only one God.”
Three young kids are followed in it, who preach and, supposedly, heal.
It gave me the feeling of watching a program similar to Toddlers and Tiaras that was before I saw a question being raised on a CNN blog (“Will the documentary have the same cringe-inducing effect on viewers as, say, TLC’s “Toddlers and Tiaras”?”)
What is your opinion on this phenomenon, and/or the show?
