This article needs to include some history. From what Christian movements, denominations or traditions did IHOP leaders come? MPS 21:11, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup

Two points:

  1. Article lacks sourced assertion of notability based on reliable, third party sources. The few recent hits on Google News all seem to only make passing reference to the church or its leaders.
  2. This page lists two completely different founding dates for the firm/church/whatever.

Excuse me for the lack of formatting. On point #2, IHOP began official prayer meetings on May 7 1999. The date Sept 19, 1999 is reference to when the organization began prayer 24/365 (continuously). This was not the case from May 7 to Sept 19 of that year.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.110.0.2 (talk • contribs)

Do you have a source we can use in the article to back that up, and, more importantly, third party sources to demonstrate the notability of the organization under WP:ORG? I had a hard time finding the latter. MrZaiustalk 21:22, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Disputing POV

I think it was "passionately pursuing the heart of God" that really did it for me. This doesn't really make a wholehearted attempt at being encyclopedic, though I am loathe to suggest deletion because of its notability. Do a good job cleaning this up, and in-line citations are going to be necessary because the rules for primary sources differ from those from reputable third-party sources. See WP:SELFPUB. What also drew my attention was the deletion of a critical source of information. This article should recognize controversies where they are examined by notable sources.
