David "Guy" Connor helped with the harvest

Wild Rice Harvest - Wild rice is a staple of the Ojibwe people and each year in late August, the Thayers harvest mahnomen (Ojibwe translation for rice) for Overcomer's Ministry events.

In October 2000, Overcomer's and the American Indian Housing Community Development Corporation held the first annual Mahnomen Days Feast. Proceeds raised for this community event was used for the Partners for Kids Christmas Toy Campaign.

In December of 2000 Overcomer's Ministry submitted a concept proposal to Oak Hills Christian College in Bemidji Minnesota for a Minneapolis based extension program. The program will start in September 2001 and will consist of a two year Associate of Arts Degree to be located at the First Nations office and classrooms. The curriculum will include Bible course topics while gaining practical inner city and outreach ministry experience.

In ten years the ministry has developed relationships with several churches and organizations in the region including Oak Hills Christian College, has ministered to hundreds of native people and is seeking support to expand its vision. Overcomer's ministry is a non-denominational entity and has a nine member Board of Directors who attend various churches around the Twin Cities and includes one member from Ontario Canada. The Thayers are ordained ministers with International Ministerial Fellowship and attend New Commandment Church in Northeast Minneapolis.
