Just saw this news article:

Quote:
Ezekiel Stoddard is 11. But he was ordained last month as a minister in his family’s independent Pentecostal church. Ezekiel says God spoke to him in a dream when he was 8. “God said you are going to lay hands on the sick and preach to the poor,” Ezekiel said.

Check out the Comments as well on that news page too.
I cant say that one is too young to preach. AFAIK the bible dosnt really mention anything against it.....infact it may even partially support it, jesus did discuss theology when he was young. 
Not sure if someone can supply some support for a child being a preacher?
I see some difficultly with it, lacking practical life experiences to reference the preaching for one, but some children in this world have probably seen more of lifes difficulties than i have too...so it may not be that much of a issue, and you don't need to have to experience something to know something either.
What do you guys think about this?

If someone is genuinely called of God then what we think does not matter.
