Still only a pre-schooler, Kanon Tipton takes the pulpit at his family's church and like a seasoned evangelist fervently preaches the gospel, mopping his forehead, shouting, waving his arms, the congregation hanging on his every word. But he's just 4-years-old. NGC's Pint-Sized Preachers goes inside the controversial world of child evangelists to follow two rising-stars and one established child minister as they spread God's word and bring congregations to their feet. From preparation to the podium, find out what drives these child worshipers and hear from believers who claim to have been touched – even healed – by their holy words. Follow their parents and caretakers as they prime their children for the spotlight – do they really believe their young sons could be saviors or are they also motivated by potential fame and fortune?

The Tipton's have a lovely home. I would be surprised if Kanon really knows what he's saying - it's typical mimicry. He's getting rewarded for the gestures and the performance, just like a child actor. He seems like a nice kid, though, and so does the family. I hope he grows up without any pressure and finds his religion naturally later on...
