Gordon Thayer is also co-founder and executive director of the American Indian Housing Community Development Corporation (AIHCDC) of Minneapolis. AIHCDC was founded in 1992 and is a separate non profit entity from Overcomers Ministry. The organization provides housing and community development services in the Phillips neighborhood.

In 1996 AIHCDC opened Anishinabe Wakiagun translated "The Peoples Home" in the Ojibwe language. This new permanent supportive housing facility was built for homeless late stage chronic alcoholic American Indians and is home to 30 men and 10 women.

Individuals are encouraged on to sober living through various support services. Overcomers provides weekly men and women support groups called "More Than Conquerors" at Anishinabe Wakiagun.

Residents of this facility will also have the ministry resources available to them such as the Alcohol Treatment Program and "On Eagles Wings" apartments.

Overcomer's Ministry also refers people to AIHCDC services such as the Tenant Training Program and emergency services for families and individuals.

This is the second year of this successful Christmas toy drive that provided quality toys for 400 kids at the Little Housing Project in Minneapolis and 200 kids on the Mishkeegogamang Reserve.

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.
