I'm also curious about whether the kid is even aware of the meaning behind the words that he is "preaching" and why he has a hankerchief, etc. I guess the bottom line for me in this is, how real is this presentation for all involved and what was the purpose? I fully believe that God can and does use kids in ministry, but this doesn't seem like ministry, rather putting a kid on display.... My gut reaction is that it leans towards "entertainment."
