Message from the President
Dear MMA Praxis shareholder:
Although the soft housing market and high rate of unemployment continue to bring stress to many people, 2010 saw signs of a strengthening economy – including improved performance of the equity markets.
Domestic equities, as measured by the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index, rose by 15.09 percent for the one year period ending Dec. 31, 2010, following a gain of 26.47 percent for the prior year. The MMA Praxis Core Stock Fund Class A Shares (without load) underperformed its benchmark and rose 11.5 percent. Over the same period the Class A Shares (without load) of the MMA Praxis Value Index Fund rose by 13.4 percent and Class A Shares (without load) of the MMA Praxis Growth Index Fund rose by 13.2 percent. The Class A Shares (without load) of the MMA Praxis Small Cap Fund rose by 31.79 percent and outperformed its benchmark, the Russell 2000, which rose by 26.86 percent. We are very pleased with this outperformance.
The international equity benchmark MSCI EAFE Index rose by 7.75 percent for the one-year period ending Dec. 31, 2010. The MMA Praxis International Fund Class A Shares (without load) outperformed its benchmark over the one year period and rose by 12.2 percent. This outperformance is very encouraging after an underperformance in 2009.
We are pleased to report that the MMA Praxis Intermediate Income Fund continues to perform well against its benchmark, the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which rose 6.54 percent. The Class A Shares (without load) posted a gain of 6.26 percent for the year ending Dec. 31, 2010, following a return of 10.49 percent for the year ending Dec. 31, 2009, when the benchmark return was 5.93 percent. The three-year annualized returns were 6.57 percent and five-year annualized returns were 5.84 percent.
In January 2010, we launched the MMA Praxis Genesis Portfolios, which are considered “fund of funds.” This is an investment approach that uses a strategy of holding a group of funds rather than investing directly in individual stocks, bonds or other securities. The Genesis Portfolios invest in a combination of the other MMA Praxis Mutual Funds to achieve the investment objective of the Portfolios. We offer three portfolios: the Conservative Allocation portfolio (without load) returned 8.22 percent, the Balanced Allocation portfolio (without load) returned 10.88 percent and the Growth Allocation portfolio (without load) rose 12.65 percent.
On the following pages, you will find portfolio managers’ letters and performance review for each of the Funds as well as an update on our stewardship investing activities. The work we do on behalf of you, the shareholder, in company screening, shareholder advocacy and community development are reminders that shareholders can have significant impact by the way they invest their dollars. I encourage you to read these letters for further explanation of their investment strategies and perspective of 2010.

MMA Praxis stewardship investing report
MMA Praxis annual report 2010
Because everyone matters…
As one of its two primary shareholder advocacy themes, MMA Praxis Mutual Funds is pursuing shareholder actions against practices of modern slavery, including forced child labor. We see this as a way to follow Jesus’ teachings and care for the most vulnerable among us.
During the past year, MMA Praxis has worked on issues of child labor in several ways:
• | Taking the lead in corporate dialogues with Hershey1 and Kraft2, to work with these companies and their supply chains to end forced child labor in the cocoa industry. |
• | Assisting to coordinate and plan the strategic spinners and mills initiative to help textile companies eliminate child labor-tainted cotton from their supply chain. |
• | Signing letters to hotel chains and sponsors of World Cup 2010 to raise awareness of the human trafficking problem at the event, and encourage companies to train their staff to protect women and children from forced prostitution and trafficking. |
• | Participating in a shareholder dialogue with Wyndham Hotels3, one of the world’s largest hotel brands, regarding training and new organizational procedures to protect vulnerable people from human trafficking on the grounds of Wyndham’s hotels. |
Ending child labor in the cocoa trade
In West Africa, it is estimated that tens of thousands of children are forced to work on cocoa plantations – particularly in Ghana and the Ivory Coast, the world’s two top cocoa exporting nations. Many of these children are smuggled in from extremely poor countries, such as Mali and Burkina Faso. Since most cocoa beans come from hundreds of thousands of small farms and pass through three or more companies before reaching the major confectioners, documenting labor abuses and certifying ethical practices is difficult.
Social investors are working with the world’s largest chocolate companies to establish industry-wide solutions to the problem of forced labor and low pay on cocoa farms. In late 2009, MMA Praxis Mutual Funds met with representatives from The Hershey Company to discuss the sustainability of its cocoa bean sourcing – specifically, how Hershey can encourage equitable pay for farmers and fair labor standards for workers.
MMA Praxis continues to lead the dialogue with Hershey and other chocolate companies about their cocoa supply chain, while collaborating with other socially concerned investor groups and non-profit organizations.
MMA Praxis Intermediate Income Fund makes high social impact purchases
The MMA Praxis Intermediate Income Fund recently purchased bonds that support environmental and social justice initiatives, continuing the fund’s commitment to positive, faith based investing.
Housing opportunities
The United States Department of Housing and Urban Development4 (HUD) attempts to support community development and increase access to affordable housing free from discrimination. HUD has

various program offices that carry out this mission, such as the Center for Faith Based and Neighborhood Partnerships, which works directly with both faith-based and secular non-profit organizations to encourage community development and access to basic standards of living. MMA Praxis has made a $1.5 million HUD bond purchase.
Foreign aid
MMA Praxis recognizes the need to extend economic support beyond the borders of any individual country. The United States Agency for International Development5 (USAID) actively provides humanitarian assistance to countries throughout the world through health care, education and microfinance. In July, MMA Praxis purchased a $2.2 million USAID bond, backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, designated for Egypt. This money is going toward water and wastewater systems for people who do not currently have access to pipelines.
Renewable energy
The MMA Praxis Intermediate Income Fund has routinely demonstrated a commitment to alternative energy sources. Most recently, the fund purchased a $167,000 bond investment in Nextera Energy Resources6. The bond is designated specifically for funding multiple wind energy projects being operated by FPL Energy National Wind, a subsidiary of Nextera.
Natural gas resolution draws high support at EOG Resources7
Last November, MMA Praxis co-filed a shareholder resolution at EOG Resources, a major natural gas company, calling for a report on the environmental impact of the company’s hydraulic fracturing operations. The requested report would examine potential policies for EOG to adopt to reduce or eliminate hazards to air, water and soil quality from fracturing. In May, at the company’s annual meeting, the resolution garnered 31 percent of the vote – a high percentage for a first time resolution.
Hydraulic fracturing is a practice used to extract unconventional sources of natural gas through the injection of water, chemicals and particles underground to create fractures through which gas can flow for collection. MMA Praxis believes hydraulic drilling activities increase the potential for reputational damage and vulnerability to litigation, and weak and uneven regulatory controls necessitate that companies go above and beyond current regulatory requirements to protect the environment and their own long-term interests.
MMA Praxis has recently begun dialogue with EOG to discuss hydraulic fracturing and will continue to pursue and support better environmental practices with other energy companies.

MMA Praxis Intermediate Income Fund
Annual report to shareholders
Portfolio managers’ letter
The MMA Praxis Intermediate Income fund had a solid second half, with Class I Shares shareholders receiving a 1.37 percent return and Class A Shares (without load) shareholders obtaining 1.26 percent. The Barclays Aggregate had a 1.15 percent return for the comparable period.
For the full year, the Class I Shares return was 6.60 percent and the Class A Shares (without load) was 6.26 percent, compared to a 6.54 percent return for the Barclays Aggregate. The main factor in the Class A Shares (without load) underperformance was the Fund expenses.
The main reasons for the outperformance in the second half were the strong performance of corporate bonds and commercial mortgage backed securities (CMBS) and the poor returns for Treasury bonds. Corporate bonds returned 3.03 percent and CMBS were up 7.31 percent. Treasuries were up 0.01 percent.
Treasury rates rose for all maturities longer than three years. In the second half of 2010, the change varied from an increase of 0.02 percent for the three year note to 0.45 percent for the 30-year bond. This kind of move is called a “steepener” because long interest rates rise more than short rates, reflecting improved prospects for economic recovery due to the U.S. Federal Reserve’s quantitative easing program and the tax cuts agreed to by Congress and the President. It also reflected the greater risk of future inflation. With short-term rates held in check by the U.S. Federal Reserve, the market reflected the new realities by pushing up rates of longer maturity bonds. Since bond coupons are fixed, rising interest rates mean lower bond prices.
The Fund managers had been expecting interest rates to rise at some point. As a result, the duration (average life of the funds cash flows) was lower than the duration of the benchmark. This helped mitigate the impact of falling bond prices and improved the Fund’s return relative to the Barclays Aggregate.
Outlook
Our expectations for 2011 are still developing, but we expect reasonably strong economic growth of 3.0 to 3.5 percent. If we are correct, this should lower the unemployment rate to roughly 9 percent by year end. Historically, inflation does not begin to rise until the unemployment rate is below 8 percent. As a result, we expect somewhat higher interest rates by year end, but there will be periods when rates fall, as well. Currently, growth expectations are rising and that is pushing up stock prices, commodity prices and interest rates. While we do believe that slightly higher rates are probable at some point, the economy still is not strong enough to sustain satisfactory growth if interest rates rise too much. We expect this to lead to periods of exuberance that will push interest rates up to the point that loan demand recedes and economic growth slows, leading to concerns the recovery will falter. Interest rates will then decline and growth will rebound because the underlying strength of the economy will reassert itself.
With very low interest rates, we believe returns on investment grade bonds for 2011 will be very modest. The yield to maturity on the Barclays Aggregate at year end was 2.97 percent. This implies it will be very difficult over the next three to five years to earn meaningfully more than 3 percent from investment grade bond investments. Our approach will be to add in moderate amounts of other bond classes that are not part of the index, as well as more investment grade bonds with above average yields.
As the economy recovers, we believe inflation and interest rates will rise. And, as these risks become more imminent, we expect to keep our duration shorter than the index and to add in securities that are less vulnerable to rising interest rates.
6
With many investors fearful of inflation, we would also point out that inflation adjusted securities, like U.S. government TIPS (Treasury Inflation Protected Securities), are no guarantee that bond holders will not experience losses of principal. This is because TIPS are often long duration securities with large interest rate risks. As a result, even if they offset inflation they do not necessarily offset rising interest rates. If interest rates rise, inflation protected bonds can still decline in value.
We do expect modest returns in 2011 consistent with the 2010 3 percent yield for the Barclays Aggregate Index. There are many potential risks in 2011 that may push bond prices up or down. We see this as an opportunity to create value for our investors.

Annual report to shareholders
Portfolio managers’ letter
MMA Praxis Core Stock Fund performance overview
For the year ended Dec. 31, 2010, MMA Praxis Core Stock Fund Class A Shares (without load) returned 11.5 percent, under-performing its benchmark, the S&P 500 Index (“Index”), which returned 15.09 percent.
Factors affecting the Fund’s performance
All sectors of the market registered increases over the year. Consumer Discretionary, Industrials and Materials were the sectors within the Index that increased the most. Health Care and Utilities were the sectors within the Index that increased the least.
The Fund had more invested in Financials than any other sector and they were the most important contributor to the Fund’s performance. The Fund’s financial companies outperformed the corresponding sector within the Index (up 18 percent versus up 12 percent for the Index) and had a higher relative average weighting (28 percent versus 16 percent for the Index). Berkshire Hathaway, Wells Fargo, Julius Baer and Progressive were among the most important contributors to performance.
Consumer staple companies were the second most important contributor to performance. The Fund’s consumer staple companies outperformed the corresponding sector within the Index (up 18 percent versus up 14 percent for the Index) and had a higher relative average weighting (19 percent versus 11 percent for the Index). Costco and Procter & Gamble were among the most important contributors to performance.
While energy companies made positive contributions to absolute performance, they were the most important reason that the Fund lagged the Index. The Fund’s energy companies underperformed the corresponding sector within the Index (up 6 percent versus up 20 percent for the Index) and had approximately the same relative average weighting (both 11 percent). Canadian Natural Resources was among the most important contributors to performance, while EOG Resources and Transocean were among the most important detractors from performance.
While industrial companies also made positive contributions to absolute performance, they were the second most important reason that the Fund’s performance lagged the Index. The Fund’s industrial companies underperformed the corresponding sector within the Index (up 22 percent versus up 27 percent for the Index) and had a lower relative average weighting (5 percent versus 11 percent for the Index) in this stronger performing sector. China Shipping Development was among the most important detractors from performance.
Five companies, Hewlett Packard, H&R Block, Google, Microsoft and Visa, were important detractors from the Fund’s performance. All five companies turned in negative returns for the year despite generally positive returns in the overall market. The Fund no longer owns H&R Block.
The Fund held approximately 17 percent of its assets in foreign companies (including American Depositary Receipts) at Dec. 31, 2010. As a whole, these companies outperformed the domestic companies held by the Fund.
23
As of Dec. 31, 2010, only one company, Berkshire Hathaway, had dropped out of the Fund’s top 10 holdings from the end of 2009. This is consistent with our low-turnover strategy. The Fund continues to own Berkshire Hathaway, but in a reduced amount. The new addition to the Fund’s top 10 holdings, CVS Caremark, was the Fund’s twelfth largest holding at the end of 2009.

Annual report to shareholders
Portfolio manager’s letter
Last year, we described the market gains of 2009 as exceptional, abnormal and, some even as record breaking. In 2010, we experienced a more modest year in comparison, but still one which saw strong gains across many markets, including a gain of 7.75 percent in the MSCI EAFE Index.
The year presented many macro challenges, with investors still wary of taking substantial equity risk on their books. The United States deficits – federal, current account, state and municipal – were all of concern due to their size and implications for growth and the markets. Europe went through its own turmoil, with Greek and Irish problems to the fore. The year started with investor nervousness, got hit by the sovereign crisis in the second quarter, but took comfort in the establishment of the European Financial Stability Facility in June. Markets entered a period of volatility in July as fears of a double-dip recession combined with continued high unemployment levels. These fears were finally subdued, as expectations grew that the U.S. Federal Reserve would maintain a loose monetary policy and even resort to another round of quantitative easing. This helped global markets to rally strongly in the third quarter and to add further gains in the fourth quarter, thus finishing the year out with high single digit returns.
There was a great deal of divergence among different international markets. For example, in emerging markets, China was marginally positive at less than 2 percent, but Mexico rose by over 27 percent. In Europe, the Spanish market was down by almost 22 percent, but Germany rose by 8 percent, while in Asia, Japan was more than 15 percent positive. As a consequence of the weak correlation among markets, the equity environment in 2010 provided a very positive environment for stock pickers.
Over the period, the Fund outperformed its benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Index, largely due to significant positive contributions from many individual holdings across a range of sectors and countries. The Fund continued to benefit from the investments we made in quality businesses that were trading at depressed valuations and in companies with good exposure to cyclical growth as the market recovered in mid-2009. Stock selection was the primary driver of results, with positive effect in all but two of the 10 sectors, and our sector positioning also helping returns.
Strategy
The year saw more modest overall changes in portfolio structure than in 2009, but we added meaningfully to holdings in Consumer Discretionary and Health Care with Financials and Information Technology (IT) having the largest reductions.
In Consumer Discretionary, we added to a range of automobile holdings. New auto stocks added included Peugeot S.A., BMW AG, and Hyundai Motor Company Ltd., while at the same time we trimmed our exposure to the Japanese truck manufacturer Isuzu Motors Ltd., due to its very strong appreciation of almost 150 percent in the year. Additionally, we increased exposure to luxury goods, holding Burberry Group PLC due to increased demand for luxury products, particularly from China and other leading developing markets. In Health Care, we added Germany’s Bayer AG and GlaxoSmithKline PLC in the United Kingdom on valuation grounds. In Financials, the sector with the largest reduction, we had concerns on some international banks due to factors such as lack of real transparency, interest rate pressure, and sovereign debt exposure levels. Among our eliminations were Deutsche Bank AG and Nordea Bank AD. We also disposed of AXA S.A., the French financial services company, and Hellenic Exchanges Holding S.A. In IT, the reductions included Japan’s Elpida Memory Inc. and Canada’s Research in Motion Ltd. (RIM). In Energy, we eliminated Transocean Ltd. in the aftermath of the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, and also trimmed back our exposure to BP PLC.
33
When viewed from a geographic perspective, the changes were most significant in Europe across a range of countries, where the most significant reduction was in Switzerland due in large part to the elimination of Nestle on socially responsible investing grounds.
Contributors to performance
In a year of strong absolute and relative performance, there were a number of meaningful contributors. Consumer Discretionary was at the top, where the aforementioned Isuzu led the way due to the size of our exposure and its outstanding performance. The aggregate exposure to luxury goods companies including Burberry Group PLC, Swatch Group AG and PPR S.A. performed strongly and contributed meaningfully. In Materials, we saw a mixture of commodity and mining companies to the fore. These included United Kingdom-based Antofagasta PLC, with exposure to copper production in Chile, and gold companies Agnico-Eagle Mines Ltd. and Newcrest Mining Ltd., both of which benefitted from the continued appreciation of the underlying commodity. We also gained from our holding in Potash Corp. of Saskatchewan Inc. We sold it after it received a bid from BHP Billiton, which was subsequently withdrawn after opposition from the Canadian government. In IT, SINA Corp., the Chinese internet portal, rose by almost 40 percent in the quarter. The company has benefitted from its newly launched micro-blog service (the Chinese answer to Twitter), which has grown spectacularly over the past year – it added 50 million new customers in that period.
Geographically, emerging markets exposure led the way with Europe and the United Kingdom also benefitting. Strong outperformance from our holdings in Japan more than offset the impact of underweight in what was one of the stronger regions in the year.
Detractors from performance
The detractors were limited in the period. In Industrials, some of the employment companies in which we had meaningful weights lagged due to delayed recovery in corporate recruitment. In Financials, while we benefitted from our underweight to what was a weak sector, some individual European bank holdings were negative.
Geographically, Asia ex-Japan was the only detractor, due to underweight in what was the year’s strongest performing region.
Portfolio Outlook
Going forward into 2011, markets will still continue to wrestle with many of the issues that surfaced in 2010, as well as the potential for a hardening of China’s attempts to quell inflation.
However, there are several factors that do appear to be underpinning the recent strength in equity markets and that could be positive into 2011. First, equities did compare favorably relative to other investments. We are currently experiencing very low yields in fixed income, and bank deposit rates are at extremely low levels and do not adequately cover cost inflation within personal lives. We believe in this low yield environment, many fixed income investments do not protect and preserve capital but rather erode it. It is clear that the U.S. Federal Reserve and many other central banks around the world, such as the European Central Bank and the Bank of England, want us to put our money to work for productive use, and not keep it in low risk deflation hedges. These circumstances should promote some movement from fixed income into equities, which should be favorable to equities.
Second, there is some positive dynamics at the company level. Cost cutting strategies have been implemented (although in our opinion the cost cutting wave is over), balance sheets are generally flush with cash, companies have been withholding capital expenditure and workforces are stretched. Therefore productivity levels are very high and margins are strong even though top lines have not recovered fully from crisis levels.
In addition, we are beginning to see a turn in new job creation, even though the unemployment rate may take longer to come down. In our opinion, employment is correlated with corporate profitability
34
and gross domestic product growth, and as both of these indictors have been improving, we are beginning to see a turn in employment data.
Europe will still show continued adjustment pains caused by the ongoing fiscal turmoil and tightening; but this is ultimately part of the European Union’s growing pains, and we do not believe that Euro land is facing complete disintegration anytime soon. The European Central Bank balance sheet has enormous room to expand and could therefore provide support to sovereign bond markets. Ultimately, we could even see multilateral support – Chinese buying Portuguese and Spanish bonds to provide liquidity to markets.
In emerging markets, the long-term story of an emerging middle class is valid in Brazil, Russia, Indiana and China (known as the BRIC countries). Several countries, such as Brazil and Russia, are strongly linked to the commodity cycle. We are active but careful and very selective in this area, from our perspective excessive liquidity can create bubbles as well as strong volatility.
Overall, we continue to look for improvements that have not been priced into the stock prices. In developed countries, we are finding interesting value plays, while in emerging markets we are looking for undervalued growth situations. We are still finding interesting companies whose stock prices are still far off their highs of 2007.

Annual report to shareholders
Portfolio manager’s letter
The second half of 2010 reversed the first half misfortunes of equity markets with strong performance right through the end of the year. Small and mid-sized companies led the United States equity markets for the year, but large companies also rose during the period.
The causes for continued investor enthusiasm for stocks were many as the year drew to a close, including improving signals from the economy, persistently low interest rates, and increasing confidence in growth outside of the United States. One of the intended byproducts of the Federal Reserve’s quantitative easing strategy initiated late in the year was a “wealth effect” expected to result from higher asset prices. Consumers, as the theory goes, would feel more comfortable to spend if their investment portfolios rose in value because of low interest rates. It appears this strategy has been moderately successful.
Despite holding large amounts of cash in reserve, corporations remain hesitant to invest and to hire significant numbers of new employees. As a result, unemployment remains painfully high, but the cash bodes well for future investment led growth.
The value style of investing trailed the growth style during the year, though both strategies registered strong results. The Fund’s Class A Shares (without load) gained 13.40 percent versus a 14.54 percent for its benchmark, the MSCI Prime Market Value Index for the year ending Dec. 31, 2010. The Fund’s underperformance can be attributed primarily to the Fund’s expenses.

Annual report to shareholders
Portfolio manager’s letter
The second half of 2010 reversed the first half misfortunes of equity markets with strong performance right through the end of the year. Small and mid-sized companies led the United States equity markets for the year, but large companies also rose during the period.
The causes of continued investor enthusiasm for stocks were many as the year drew to a close, including improving signals from the economy, persistently low interest rates, and increasing confidence in growth outside of the United States. One of the intended byproducts of the Federal Reserve’s quantitative easing strategy initiated late in the year was a “wealth effect” expected to result from higher asset prices. Consumers, as the theory goes, would feel more comfortable to spend if their investment portfolios rose in value because of low interest rates. It appears this strategy has been moderately successful.
Despite holding large amounts of cash in reserve, corporations remain hesitant to invest and to hire significant numbers of new employees. As a result, unemployment remains painfully high, but the cash bodes well for future investment led growth.
The growth style of equity investing beat the value style during 2010, though both strategies registered strong gains. The Fund’s Class A Shares (without load) rose 13.20 percent versus 17.23 percent for its benchmark, the MSCI Prime Market Growth Index for the year ending Dec. 31, 2010. The Fund seeks to generate returns that closely follow the returns of the benchmark, but screens can have an impact, which was the case during the second half of the year. Companies in the benchmark that performed well but that were not in the Fund included Philip Morris International, Freeport-McMoran, Caterpillar and Boeing.

MMA Praxis Small Cap Fund
Annual report to shareholders
Portfolio managers’ letter
The MMA Praxis Small Cap Fund Class A Shares (without load) gained 33.74 percent vs. the Russell 2000’s 29.38 percent increase during the second half of 2010. It was another strong period for the market as continued economic growth and greater confidence for future growth boosted the markets. The market continued its advance from the first quarter 2009 bear market lows and has now generated positive returns in six of the last seven quarters.
The United States and global economies rebounded in the second half of 2010, despite mid-year concerns of a double-dip recession, and we remain positive on economic growth in 2011. Higher corporate profits are positive for capital expenditures and future employment growth. Sentiment improved in the second half of 2010, as the midterm elections resulted in a more balanced government. In addition, the existing tax policy was extended and monetary policy, with a fresh round of stimulus, remained supportive. Despite the big gains in the market in 2010, limited new money has been invested in the stock market. Economic growth, low interest rates and excess capital should continue to support more merger and acquisition activity. While we wouldn’t be totally surprised to see the market pull back or consolidate its recent gains, we do remain positive on the stock market and especially smaller stocks in 2011.
We are pleased with the Fund’s absolute and relative returns generated during the second half of 2010 and for 2010 as a whole. In the second half of 2010, the majority of our outperformance came from our stock selection with sector allocation decisions also additive to our overall results. The biggest contributors came from the Technology, Consumer Discretionary and Energy sectors. The Healthcare sector was the only relative laggard of note compared to the benchmark sector returns. From a sector allocation perspective, being overweight the stronger Energy sector and being underweight the lagging Financials sector was beneficial to our performance. The Fund strategy benefited from a more robust merger and acquisition environment as nine of our portfolio companies were acquired in 2010. It was a positive year for the market and a positive year for the Fund.
Our investment strategy is to identify competitively advantaged companies that generate strong financial returns with good reinvestment opportunities and purchase these stocks at attractive prices. We believe this strategy of investing in competitively advantaged companies with viable strategies to increase the value of their businesses will continue to be beneficial for our investors. Our goal is to generate returns over time outperform the benchmark and to minimize the risk (volatility) of the portfolio.
The management of our investment process truly maximizes our internal, research-intensive investment process. By incorporating the total research capabilities of the firm, we are constantly identifying and analyzing companies that meet our stringent criteria. We believe our consistent investment disciplines have produced a solid investment strategy, and have us well positioned going forward.

MMA Praxis Genesis Portfolios
Annual report to shareholders
Portfolio manager’s letter
Equity markets surged forward during the second half of the year, carrying many United States indexes into double digit territory for the year. One equity class stands out above the rest, however, with small caps (Russell 2000 Index) trading within 1 percent of its prior peak on Oct. 31, 2007, while other equity indexes continue to trade well below their earlier highs. International stocks, which rose modestly during the year, failed to keep pace with U.S. stocks.
Core bonds, as measured by the Barclays Capital Aggregate Bond Index, moved lower late in the year as interest rates generally rose. The Index still registered a 6.54 percent return for the year, the 11th straight year it has generated a positive return.
The causes for investors’ continued enthusiasm for stocks were many during the quarter, including improving signals from the economy, persistently low interest rates, and increasing confidence in growth outside of the United States. One of the intended byproducts of the Federal Reserve’s quantitative easing strategy initiated during the quarter was a “wealth effect” expected to result from higher asset prices. Consumers, as the theory goes, would feel more comfortable to spend if their investment portfolios rose in value because of low interest rates. It appears this strategy has been moderately successful.
For the 12 months ending Dec. 31, 2010, all three of the MMA Praxis Genesis Portfolios generated positive returns. The Growth Portfolio’s Class A Shares (without load) rose 12.65 percent compared to its composite benchmark, which rose 12.84 percent. The Portfolio’s strong performance is partly a result of its higher allocation to the MMA Praxis Small Cap Fund. The Balanced Portfolio’s Class A Shares (without load) also generated double digit returns (10.80 percent), but slightly trailed the performance of its composite benchmark (11.39 percent). The Conservative Portfolio’s Class A Shares (without load) registered 8.22 percent for the period, while trailing its composite benchmark return of 8.85 percent.
The Class I Shares of the MMA Praxis International, Small Cap, and Intermediate Income Funds exceeded the performance of their respective benchmarks, while the performance of Class I Shares of the Core Stock and Growth Index Funds trailed performance of their respective benchmarks. The performance of Class I Shares of the Value Index matched its benchmark returns.
The underlying investments in the Genesis Portfolios are the MMA Praxis Mutual Funds, including five equity funds and one fixed income fund, which are held in proportions matching the risk profile of each of the Genesis Portfolios. We take a long-term approach in assigning weights to the various underlying funds, relying on the premise that higher risk equity funds are expected to generate higher long term returns than lower risk fixed income investments. During the period, the allocation between the stocks and bonds for each of the Portfolios remained close to the long-term targets we set at the inception of the Portfolios. These targets also determine the weights of the various indexes used in creating the composite benchmarks.

MMA Praxis Mutual Funds
Notes to financial statements
December 31, 2010
1. Organization:
The MMA Praxis Mutual Funds (the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company established as a Delaware business trust under a Declaration of Trust dated September 27, 1993, as amended and restated December 1, 1993, and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). As of December 31, 2010, the Trust consists of the MMA Praxis Intermediate Income Fund, the MMA Praxis Core Stock Fund, the MMA Praxis International Fund, the MMA Praxis Value Index Fund, the MMA Praxis Growth Index Fund, and the MMA Praxis Small Cap Fund, (individually a “Fund”, collectively “the Funds”), the MMA Praxis Genesis Conservative Portfolio, the MMA Praxis Genesis Balanced Portfolio, and the MMA Praxis Genesis Growth Portfolio, (individually a “Portfolio”, collectively “the Portfolios”), and the International Index Fund which is not covered in this report. The Funds and Portfolios are also referred to individually as the Intermediate Income Fund, Core Stock Fund, International Fund, Value Index Fund, Growth Index Fund, Small Cap Fund, Conservative Portfolio, Balanced Portfolio, and Growth Portfolio in the financial statements. Each Fund and Portfolio is a diversified series of the Trust.
The MMA Praxis Genesis Conservative Portfolio, the MMA Praxis Genesis Balanced Portfolio and the MMA Praxis Genesis Growth Portfolio commenced operations on January 1, 2010.
As of December 31, 2010, the Funds offer two classes of shares; Class A and Class I and the Portfolios offer Class A. Each class of shares in a Fund or Portfolio has identical rights and privileges except with respect to fees paid under the distribution and shareholder servicing agreements, voting rights on matters affecting a single class of shares and the exchange privileges of each class of shares. Class A has a maximum sales charge on purchases of 5.25 percent as a percentage of the original purchase price, except for the Intermediate Income Fund which is 3.75 percent.
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its Officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide general indemnification. Each Fund’s and Portfolio’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against a Fund or Portfolio. However, based on experience, the Trust expects the risk of loss to be remote.
2. Significant Accounting Policies:
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Securities Valuation:
The Funds and Portfolios record their investments at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The valuation techniques used to determine fair value are further described below.
120
MMA Praxis Mutual Funds
Notes to financial statements, continued
December 31, 2010
Securities generally are valued at market values determined on the basis of the latest available bid prices in the principal market (closing sales prices if the principal market is an exchange) in which such securities are normally traded. Investments in investment companies are valued at their respective net asset values as reported by such companies. The differences between the cost and market values of investments are reflected as either unrealized appreciation or depreciation.
The Funds use various independent pricing services to value most of their investments. A pricing service would normally consider such factors as yield, risk, quality, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics, special circumstances and other factors it deems relevant in determining valuations of normal institutional trading units of debt securities and would not rely exclusively on quoted prices. When valuing foreign securities held by the Funds, certain pricing services might use computerized pricing models to systematically calculate adjustments to foreign security closing prices based on the latest market movements. Such pricing models utilize market data that has been obtained between the local market close and the NYSE close to compute adjustments to foreign security close prices. The methods used by the pricing service and the valuations so established will be reviewed by the Adviser under general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available (e.g. an approved pricing service does not provide a price, certain stale prices or an event occurs that materiality affects the furnished price) are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith in accordance with consistently applied procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Short-term debt securities of sufficient credit quality maturing in less than 61 days are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.
Investments in restricted securities are valued pursuant to valuation procedures approved by the Board of Trustees (the “Valuation Procedures”). The Valuation Procedures contemplate the Board’s delegation of the implementation of the Valuation Procedures to the Adviser. In valuing restricted securities under the Valuation Procedures, the Adviser will consider (but is not limited to) certain specific and general factors enumerated in the Valuation Procedures.
The Valuation Procedures require that the Adviser report to the Board at each of its regular quarterly meetings regarding valuation of restricted securities and actions taken in connection with the Valuation Procedures. The Portfolio’s investments in the underlying MMA Praxis Mutual Funds (the “Underlying Funds”) are valued at the closing net asset value per share.
The valuation techniques described maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in determining fair value. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
• | Level 1 — | quoted prices in active markets for identical securities | |
• | Level 2 — | other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) | |
• | Level 3 — | significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ and Portfolios’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For example, short-term debt securities of sufficient credit quality maturing in less than 61 days are valued using amortized cost, in accordance with rules under the 1940 Act. Generally, amortized cost approximates the current fair value of a security, but since the value is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, such securities are reflected as Level 2.

The aggregate value by input level, as of December 31, 2010, for each Fund’s and Portfolio’s investments, as well as a reconciliation of assets for which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining value, is included in each Fund’s and Portfolio’s Schedule of Portfolio Investments, which also includes a breakdown of the Fund’s and Portfolio’s investments by geographic/industry concentration, as applicable.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2010, the FASB issued new guidance as an amendment for fair value measurements and disclosures. The new guidance adds new requirements for disclosure about transfers into and out of level 1 and level 2 fair value measurements and separate disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements relating to level 3 measurements. The guidance also clarifies existing fair value disclosures about the level of disaggregation and about inputs and valuation techniques in level 2 and level 3 fair value measurements. The Funds and Portfolios have adopted this guidance, except for level 3 reconciliation disclosures which are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2010. The Funds and Portfolios do not expect the implications of this guidance to have material impact of its financial statements.
Securities Transactions and Related Income:
Changes in holdings of portfolio securities are reflected in the Fund’s and Portfolio’s valuation no later than in the first business day following trade date. For financial reporting purposes, security transactions are accounted for on the trade date on the last business day of the reporting period. Gains or losses realized on sales of securities are determined by comparing the identified cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the pro-rata amortization of premium or accretion of discount. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Allocations:
Investment income earned, realized capital gains and losses, and unrealized appreciation and depreciation for the Funds are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon its proportionate share of total net assets of the Fund. Class specific expenses are charged directly to the class incurring the expense. Common expenses, which are not attributable to a specific class, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon its proportionate share of total net assets of the Fund. Expenses not directly billed to a Fund or Portfolio are allocated proportionally among all Funds and Portfolios daily in relation to net assets of each Fund or Portfolio or another reasonable measure.
The Portfolios invest in other MMA Praxis equity and fixed income funds and, as a result, the Portfolios indirectly pay a portion of the operating expenses, including management fees of the underlying funds. These expenses are deducted from the underlying funds before their share prices are calculated and are represented as Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses (AFFE). Actual indirect expenses vary depending on how the Portfolio’s assets are allocated among the underlying investments.
Risks associated with Foreign Securities and Currencies:
Investments in securities of foreign issuers carry certain risks not ordinarily associated with investments in securities of domestic issuers. Such risks include adverse future political and economic developments and the possible imposition of exchange controls or other foreign governmental laws
122
MMA Praxis Mutual Funds
Notes to financial statements, continued
December 31, 2010
and restrictions. In addition, with respect to certain countries, there is the possibility of expropriation of assets, confiscatory taxation, political or social instability or diplomatic developments which could adversely affect investments in those countries.
Certain countries may also impose substantial restrictions on investments on their capital markets by foreign entities, including restriction on investment in issuers or industries deemed sensitive to the relevant nation’s interests. These factors may limit the investment opportunities available or result in lack of liquidity and high price volatility with respect to securities of issuers from developing countries.
Foreign Currency Translation:
The market value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities of the Core Stock Fund and the International Fund denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the current exchange rate at the close of each business day. Purchases and sales of securities, income receipts and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars based at the exchange rate on the date of the transaction.
Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books, and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from the changes in the value of assets and liabilities including investments in securities at the reporting period, resulting from changes in the exchange rate.
Community Development Investments:
The Board of Trustees has authorized the Funds to make certain types of community development investments. In connection with the community development investments, the Funds have received from the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) an exemptive order that permits each of the Funds to invest a limited portion of its respective net assets in securities issued by an affiliate of the Adviser, Everence Community Investments, Inc. (“ECI”). ECI is a not-for-profit corporation that was organized specifically to promote community development investing and it seeks to fund its efforts primarily through the sale to investors of interests in certain investment pools that it has established (the “CDI-Notes”). Assets raised through offerings of CDI-Notes are then invested directly in non-profit and not-for-profit community development organizations. Each Fund, in accordance with guidelines established by the Board of Trustees and in compliance with the SEC’s exemptive order, would be permitted to invest up to 3 percent of its net assets in CDI-Notes. CDI-Notes have certain specific risk factors associated with them. These types of investments offer a rate of return below the prevailing market rate at acquisition and are considered illiquid, unrated and below-investment grade. They also involve a greater risk of default or price decline than investment-grade securities. However, these investments have been determined by the Board of Trustees as being a beneficial way to carry out each Fund’s goals for stewardship investing at the community level. In addition, these investments are valued in accordance with procedures approved by the Board of Trustees.
Dividends and Distributions:
Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid monthly for the Intermediate Income Fund and the Portfolios. Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid annually for
123
MMA Praxis Mutual Funds
Notes to financial statements, continued
December 31, 2010
the Core Stock Fund, the International Fund, the Value Index Fund, the Growth Index Fund, and the Small Cap Fund. To the extent the Portfolios invest in the Intermediate Income Fund and receive dividends, they will be paid monthly. Distributions of realized gains from the Underlying Funds are recorded on the ex-dividend date or when the Portfolios first learn of the dividend. Distributable net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually.
The amounts of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the composition of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification.
Federal Income Taxes:
It is each Fund’s and Portfolio’s policy to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions available to investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, and to distribute timely all of its net investment company taxable income and net capital gains to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. Under the applicable foreign tax law, a withholding tax may be imposed on interest, dividends and capital gains earned on foreign investments at various rates. Where available, the Funds will file for claims on foreign taxes withheld.
Redemption Fees:
The Funds and Portfolios will charge a redemption fee of 2.00 percent of the total redemption amount if a shareholder sells or exchanges shares after holding them for less than 30 days subject to certain exceptions and limitations described in the Prospectus. Amounts charged are included in Paid in Capital Transactions as disclosed in Note 6 to the Financial Statements.
3. Derivative Financial Instruments:
A derivative financial instrument in very general terms refers to an investment whose value is “derived” from the value of an underlying asset, reference rate or index. The Trust may use derivative instruments for a variety of reasons, such as to attempt to protect a Fund against possible changes in the market value of its portfolio or to manage a Fund’s foreign currency exposure or to generate potential gain. All of the Trust’s portfolio holdings, including derivative instruments, are marked-to-market each day with the change in value reflected in unrealized appreciation/depreciation. Upon disposition, a realized gain or loss is recognized accordingly, except when taking delivery of a security underlying a contract. In these instances, the recognition of gain or loss is postponed until the disposal of the security underlying the contract. Risk may arise as a result of the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.
Summarized below are specific types of derivative financial instruments used by the Trust.
Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts:
The International and Core Stock Funds may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts for the purchase or sale of specific foreign currencies at a fixed price on a future date. Risks may arise upon entering these contracts for the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. The International Fund may enter into forward contracts as a hedge against specific
124
MMA Praxis Mutual Funds
Notes to financial statements, continued
December 31, 2010
transactions or portfolio positions to protect against adverse currency movements. The forward foreign currency exchange contracts are adjusted by the daily exchange rate of the underlying currency and any gains or losses are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized until the contract settlement date, at which time the International Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.
As of December 31, 2010, the International Fund did not hold any forward foreign currency exchange contracts.
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities:
The following table is the summary of the effect of derivative instruments on the Statements of Operations for the period ended December 31, 2010:

$ | 5,042,183 |
During the year ended December 31, 2010 the Intermediate Fund, International Fund, Growth Index Fund, and Small Cap Fund utilized $1,940,494, $3,962,538, $655,918, and $2,280,620 of capital loss carryforwards, respectively.
The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the ‘‘Act’’) was enacted on December 22, 2010. The Act makes changes to several tax rules impacting the Funds and Portfolios. In general, the provisions of the Act will be effective for the Funds’ and Portfolios’ fiscal year ending December 31, 2011. Although the Act provides several benefits, including the unlimited carryover of future capital losses, there may be a greater likelihood that all or a portion of each Fund’s and Portfolio’s pre-enactment capital loss carryovers may expire without being utilized due to the fact that post-enactment capital losses get utilized before pre-enactment capital loss carryovers. Relevant information regarding the impact of the Act on the Funds and Portfolios, if any, will be contained within the ‘‘Federal Taxes’’ section of the financial statement notes for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011.
Certain reclassification, the result of permanent differences between financial statement and income tax reporting requirements, have been made to the components of capital. Reclassifications result primarily from the difference in the tax treatment of paydown gains and losses, investments in Real Estate Investment Trusts, net investment losses and sales of contributed securities. These reclassifications have no impact on the net assets or net asset value per share of the Funds and Portfolios and are designed to

present each Fund’s or Portfolio’s capital accounts on a tax basis. The following reclassifications have been made to the following Funds and Portfolios for the year ended December 31, 2010:
Paid in Capital | Accumulated Net Investment Income (Loss) | Accumulated Net Realized Gains (Losses) | ||||||||
Intermediate Income Fund | $ | (881,347 | ) | $ | 77,239 | $ | 804,108 | |||

Growth Portfolio | (3,140 | ) | 19,840 | (16,700 | ) |
The Funds and Portfolios have analyzed their tax positions taken on Federal income tax returns for all open tax years (tax years ended December 31, 2007 through 2010) and have concluded that no provision for income tax is required in their financial statements.
8. Subsequent Events
The Funds and Portfolios evaluated subsequent events from December 31, 2010 through the date these financial statements were issued. There were no significant events that would have a material impact on the Funds’ and Portfolios’ financial statements.
On January 3, 2011, the MMA Praxis Mutual Funds commenced the public offering of the MMA Praxis International Index Fund (the “Fund”). The Fund is referred to as the International Index Fund and offers two classes of shares; Class A and Class I. The Fund seeks to generate performance that reflects the performance of a broad representation of both foreign developed and emerging equity markets as measured by the MSCI All Country World ex US Index.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of the MMA Praxis Intermediate Income Fund, MMA Praxis Core Stock Fund, MMA Praxis International Fund, MMA Praxis Value Index Fund, MMA Praxis Growth Index Fund, MMA Praxis Small Cap Fund, MMA Praxis Genesis Conservative Portfolio, MMA Praxis Genesis Balanced Portfolio, and MMA Praxis Genesis Growth Portfolio:
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of portfolio investments, of the MMA Praxis Intermediate Income Fund, MMA Praxis Core Stock Fund, MMA Praxis International Fund, MMA Praxis Value Index Fund, MMA Praxis Growth Index Fund, MMA Praxis Small Cap Fund, MMA Praxis Genesis Conservative Portfolio, MMA Praxis Genesis Balanced Portfolio, and MMA Praxis Genesis Growth Portfolio (nine of the portfolios constituting the MMA Praxis Mutual Funds) (the “Funds”) as of December 31, 2010, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, and the statements of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for the periods indicated therein. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2010, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the MMA Praxis Intermediate Income Fund, MMA Praxis Core Stock Fund, MMA Praxis International Fund, MMA Praxis Value Index Fund, MMA Praxis Growth Index Fund, MMA Praxis Small Cap Fund, MMA Praxis Genesis Conservative Portfolio, MMA Praxis Genesis Balanced Portfolio, and MMA Praxis Genesis Growth Portfolio of the MMA Praxis Mutual Funds at December 31, 2010, the results of their operations for the year then ended, and the changes in their net assets and the financial highlights for the periods indicated therein, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Expense Comparison:
As a shareholder of the MMA Praxis Mutual Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases, reinvested dividends, or other distributions; redemption fees; and exchange fees; (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service 12b-1 fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the MMA Praxis Mutual Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from July 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010.
Actual Expenses:
The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes:
The table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each MMA Praxis Mutual Fund’s expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5 percent per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare this 5 percent hypothetical example with the 5 percent hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Board Consideration and Approval of Advisory and Sub-advisory Agreements
Section 15(c) of the 1940 Act requires that each mutual fund’s board of trustees, including a majority of trustees who are not “interested persons” of the fund (“Independent Trustees”), annually review and approve the fund’s investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements. At its November 15, 2010, meeting, the Trust’s Board of Trustees, which is comprised of a majority of Independent Trustees, unanimously approved the renewal of the Trust’s Advisory Agreement. Also at its November 15, 2010, meeting, the Board approved a one-year renewal of the Sub-Advisory Agreements for the Core Stock Fund, the International Fund and the Small Cap Fund. In this section, Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements are referred to as the “Agreements” and each of the series of the Trust are referred to individually as a “Fund” and collectively as the “Funds.”
In reaching its decision to approve the renewals, the Board considered information furnished to the Board throughout the year at regular Board meetings, as well as information prepared specifically in connection with the annual contract review process that took place at various meetings in October and November 2010.
In determining to approve the renewals, the members of the Board reviewed and evaluated all of this information and factors they believed, in light of legal advice furnished to them by independent legal counsel and through the exercise of their own business judgment, to be relevant and appropriate.
The Board’s conclusions with respect to the Agreements were based in part on the Board’s consideration of the Agreements in prior years.
The Board’s decision to approve the Agreements was not based on any single factor. Each member of the Board may have weighed certain factors differently. A discussion of factors that figured prominently in the Board’s decision to approve the Agreements is provided below.
INFORMATION FOR SHAREHOLDERS REGARDING THE RENEWAL OF THE INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT WITH EVERENCE CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
In approving the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement between each of the Funds and Everence Capital Management, Inc., the Board gave weight to the following factors, among others:
Nature, Quality and Extent of Services
The Board examined the nature, quality and extent of services Everence Capital Management provides to the Funds. Among other things, the Board considered Everence Capital Management’s experience in serving as investment manager of the Funds, including the experience of senior personnel at Everence Capital Management providing services to the Funds. The Board also considered Everence Capital Management’s performance in fulfilling its responsibilities for overseeing the Funds’ legal and compliance environment, in overseeing the Sub-Advisers’ compliance with the Funds’ investment objectives and policies, and in implementing Board directives as they relate to the Funds. In addition, the Board considered Everence Capital Management’s track record and experience providing portfolio management services to the Funds that do not have Sub-Advisers. The Board also considered that Everence Capital Management is responsible for the stewardship investing screening process for the Funds, develops and carries out shareholder advocacy on behalf of the Funds, and manages the Everence Community Investments program in which the Funds participate. Based on these and other
142
MMA Praxis Mutual Funds
Additional Fund information, continued (unaudited)
December 31, 2010
considerations, within the context of its overall determinations regarding the Agreements, the Board concluded that it was generally satisfied with the nature, quality and extent of services provided to the Funds by Everence Capital Management.
Investment Performance of the Funds and Everence Capital Management
In evaluating each Fund’s investment performance, the Board considered performance in light of the Fund’s investment objectives, strategies, and risks, as disclosed in the Fund’s prospectus. The Board reviewed historical performance data for the Funds, and considered each Fund’s historical performance relative to its benchmark and peer groups for those Funds with at least one full year of investment operations. Based on these and other considerations, within the context of its overall determinations regarding the Agreements, the Board reached the following conclusions regarding the Funds that do not have Sub-Advisers: Intermediate Income Fund: the Fund’s gross performance exceeded its benchmark for the one-, three- and five-year periods, and relative to its peer groups, ranked between the 20th and 35th percentiles for the three- and five-year periods; Value Index Fund: while the performance of the Fund relative to its benchmark and peer groups over the three- and five-year periods was disappointing, its peer funds were not limited in their stock selection by SRI criteria and the Board noted, for example, that the Fund had slightly outperformed its screened index for the three-year period on a gross-fee basis; Growth Index Fund: the Fund’s gross performance exceeded its benchmark for the three-year period, the Fund trailed its benchmark for the one-year period, and relative to its peer groups, ranked between the 30th and 44th percentiles over those periods; Conservative, Balanced and Growth Portfolios: each Fund’s short operating history of less than one full year prevented meaningful long-term historical performance comparisons.
Costs of Services and Profitability of Everence and Affiliates
The Board then reviewed information and data regarding the costs of providing the advisory services to the Funds and the profits to be realized by Everence Capital Management and its affiliates from their relationship with the Funds. Representatives of Everence Capital Management addressed the Board’s questions concerning guidelines for manager selection, cost allocations and compensation levels, revenue sharing arrangements and expense waivers and reimbursements. In its review of the Funds’ total and net expenses, the Board considered Everence Capital Management’s fees, as well as other Fund expenses, such as transfer agent, custodial, legal and audit fees. The Board also noted the effects of any current expense waivers and expense reimbursements on fees and expense levels, as well as proposed changes to the current expense limitations. As part of its review, the Board considered the expense ratios and profitability information by Fund compared with peer group fund expense ratios. In addition, the Board reviewed the fee structures and other information provided by Everence Capital Management regarding its services to other clients. Based on these and other considerations, within the context of its overall determinations regarding the Agreements, the Board concluded that the costs to the Funds of the services provided to the Funds by Everence Capital Management were fair.
Economies of Scale
The Board considered the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Funds grow and whether the investment advisory fee rates reflect those economies of scale for the benefit of the Funds’ shareholders. Everence Capital Management represented to the Board that it would consider breakpoints as the Funds grow in size, but that the Funds’ asset values had not yet reached levels at which economies of scale could be realized. The Board then considered the information provided regarding the expense levels of peer group funds. Based on these and other considerations, within the
143
MMA Praxis Mutual Funds
Additional Fund information, continued (unaudited)
December 31, 2010
context of its overall determinations regarding the Agreements, the Board acknowledged Everence Capital Management’s statement that current asset levels did not warrant breakpoints at this time.
Other Benefits
The Board discussed the extent to which Everence Capital Management and its affiliates might derive other benefits, including soft dollar credits or other similar benefits from Everence Capital Management’s relationship with the Funds. The Board noted that Everence Capital Management does not generate soft dollar credits on Fund brokerage transactions. The Board also considered other potential benefits to Everence Capital Management and its affiliates from their relationship with the Funds. Based on these and other considerations, within the context of its overall determinations regarding the Agreements, the Board concluded that such benefits were not material or were reasonable in relation to the services provided.
INFORMATION FOR SHAREHOLDERS REGARDING THE RENEWAL OF THE SUB-INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT WITH DAVIS
In approving the continuation of the Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement between Everence Capital Management, Inc. and Davis Selected Advisers, L.P., with respect to portfolio management of MMA Praxis Core Stock Fund, the Board gave weight to the following factors, among others:
Nature, Quality and Extent of Services
The Board considered the nature, quality and extent of services Davis provides to the Core Stock Fund. Among other things, the Board considered Davis’s experience in serving as Sub-Adviser to the Fund, including the experience of senior personnel at Davis providing portfolio management and other services to the Funds. The Board considered Davis’s compliance capabilities, its compliance record with respect to the Core Stock Fund, and the quality of communication among Everence Capital Management, Davis and the Board. The Board also considered Davis’s compliance with the Fund’s investment objectives and policies, and its performance in implementing Board directives as they relate to the Fund. In addition, the Board considered Davis’s track record and experience providing portfolio management services to the Fund. Based on these and other considerations, within the context of its overall determinations regarding the Agreements, the Board concluded that it was generally satisfied with the nature, quality and extent of services provided to the Core Stock Fund by Davis.
Investment Performance of the Core Stock Fund and Davis
The Board reviewed historical performance data for the Core Stock Fund, and considered the Fund’s historical performance relative to its benchmark and peer groups. The Board also considered the impact of socially responsible investing criteria on Fund performance. Based on these and other considerations, within the context of its overall determinations regarding the Agreements, the Board concluded that, while the performance of the Fund relative to its benchmark and peer groups has been disappointing over the one-, three- and five-year periods (Davis has served as sub-adviser only since January 2006), its peer funds were not limited in their stock selection by socially responsible investing criteria. The Board also noted that relative to its peer groups, the Fund ranked between the 53rd and 93rd percentiles over those periods.

December 31, 2010
Costs of Services and Profitability of Davis and Affiliates
The Board considered the costs of the services provided by Davis to the Core Stock Fund and the profits to be realized by Davis and its affiliates from their relationship with the Core Stock Fund. Based on these and other considerations, within the context of its overall determinations regarding the Agreements, the Board concluded that the costs to the Core Stock Fund of the services provided by Davis were fair.
Economies of Scale
The Board noted that Davis’s sub-advisory fee schedule currently incorporates break-points. The Board also acknowledged Davis’s belief that the current fee schedule anticipates economies of scale that would be realized as assets in the Core Stock Fund grow.
Other Benefits
The Board considered the extent to which Davis or its affiliates would derive other benefits, including soft dollar credits or other similar benefits, from Davis’s relationship with the Core Stock Fund. The Board noted Davis’s statement to the Board that its research analysts may take into account the research resources and execution capacity of a brokerage firm in selecting brokers, and Davis may receive certain types of research services from firms to which transactions are directed. Based on these and other considerations, within the context of its overall determinations regarding the Agreements, the Board concluded that Davis did not derive material benefits, other than its sub-advisory fees and potentially, certain research services from its relationship with the Core Stock Fund.
INFORMATION FOR SHAREHOLDERS REGARDING THE APPROVAL OF THE SUB-INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT WITH WELLS CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
In approving the continuation of the Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement between Everence Capital Management, Inc. and Wells Capital Management Incorporated, with respect to portfolio management of MMA Praxis International Fund, the Board gave weight to the following factors, among others:
Nature, Quality and Extent of Services
The Board considered the nature, quality and extent of services Wells Capital Management provides to the International Fund. Among other things, the Board considered Wells Capital Management’s experience in serving as Sub-Adviser to the Fund, including the experience of senior personnel at Wells Capital Management providing portfolio management and other services to the Funds. The Board considered Wells Capital Management’s compliance capabilities, its compliance record with respect to the International Fund, and the quality of communication among Everence Capital Management, Wells Capital Management and the Board. The Board also considered Wells Capital Management’s compliance with the Fund’s investment objectives and policies, and its performance in implementing Board directives as they relate to the Fund. In addition, the Board considered Wells Capital Management’s track record and experience providing portfolio management services to the Fund.

Costs of Services and Profitability of Wells Capital Management and Affiliates

MMA Praxis International Index Fund
Notes to financial statements
December 31, 2010
1. Organization:
The MMA Praxis International Index Fund (the “Fund” or the “International Index Fund”) is a Fund within the MMA Praxis Mutual Funds (the “Trust”). The Trust is an open-end management investment company established as a Delaware business trust under a Declaration of Trust dated September 27, 1993, as amended and restated December 1, 1993, and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Fund is a diversified series of the Trust.
The Fund was seeded on December 31, 2010 when the Fund’s adviser (Everence Capital Management, Inc.) purchased the initial 2,000 shares of the Fund. The Fund commenced public offering of its shares on January 3, 2011.
The Fund offers two classes of shares; Class A and Class I. Each class of shares in the Fund has identical rights and privileges except with respect to fees paid under the distribution and shareholder servicing agreements, voting rights on matters affecting a single class of shares and the exchange privileges of each class of shares. Class A has a maximum sales charge on purchases of 5.25 percent as a percentage of the original purchase price.
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its Officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide general indemnification. The International Index Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund. However, based on experience, the Trust expects the risk of loss to be remote.
2. Significant Accounting Policies:
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Securities Valuation:
The Fund records its investments at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The valuation techniques used to determine fair value are further described below.
Securities generally are valued at market values determined on the basis of the latest available bid prices in the principal market (closing sales prices if the principal market is an exchange) in which such securities are normally traded. Investments in investment companies are valued at their respective net asset values as reported by such companies. The differences between the cost and market values of investments are reflected as either unrealized appreciation or depreciation.
The Fund uses various independent pricing services to value most of its investments. A pricing service would normally consider such factors as yield, risk, quality, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics, special circumstances and other factors it deems relevant in determining valuations of normal institutional trading units of debt securities and would not rely exclusively on quoted prices. When valuing foreign securities held by the Fund, certain pricing services might use computerized pricing models to systematically calculate adjustments to foreign security closing prices based on the latest market movements. Such pricing models utilize market data that has been obtained between the local market close and the NYSE close to compute adjustments to foreign security close prices. The methods used by the pricing service and the valuations so established will be reviewed by the Adviser under general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available (e.g. an approved
4
MMA Praxis International Index Fund
Notes to financial statements
December 31, 2010
pricing service does not provide a price, certain stale prices or an event occurs that materially affects the furnished price) are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith in accordance with consistently applied procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Money market instruments and other short-term debt securities of sufficient credit quality maturing in less than 61 days are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.
Investments in restricted securities are valued pursuant to valuation procedures approved by the Board of Trustees (the “Valuation Procedures”). The Valuation Procedures contemplate the Board’s delegation of the implementation of the Valuation Procedures to the Adviser. In valuing restricted securities under the Valuation Procedures, the Adviser will consider (but is not limited to) certain specific and general factors enumerated in the Valuation Procedures. The Valuation Procedures require that the Adviser report to the Board at each of its regular quarterly meetings regarding valuation of restricted securities and actions taken in connection with the Valuation Procedures.
The valuation techniques described maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in determining fair value. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
• Level 1— | quoted prices in active markets for identical securities | |
• Level 2— | other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) | |
• Level 3— | significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
The aggregate value by input level, as of December 31, 2010, for the Fund’s investment is included in the Fund’s schedule of portfolio investments.
Securities Transactions and Related Income:
Changes in holdings of portfolio securities are reflected in the Fund’s valuation no later than the first business day following trade date. For financial reporting purposes, security transactions are accounted for on the trade date on the last business day of the reporting period. Gains or losses realized on sales of securities are determined by comparing the identified cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the pro-rata amortization of premium or accretion of discount. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Allocations:
Investment income earned, realized capital gains and losses, and unrealized appreciation and depreciation for the Fund are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon its proportionate share of total net assets of the Fund. Class specific expenses are charged directly to the class incurring the expense. Common expenses, which are not attributable to a specific class, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon its proportionate share of total net assets of the Fund.
Risks associated with Foreign Securities and Currencies:
Investments in securities of foreign issuers carry certain risks not ordinarily associated with investments in securities of domestic issuers. Such risks include adverse future political and economic developments and the possible imposition of exchange controls or other foreign governmental laws and restrictions. In addition, with respect to certain countries, there is the possibility of expropriation of assets, confiscatory

Notes to financial statements

taxation, political or social instability or diplomatic developments which could adversely affect investments in those countries.
Certain countries may also impose substantial restrictions on investments in their capital markets by foreign entities, including restriction on investment in issuers or industries deemed sensitive to the relevant nation’s interests. These factors may limit the investment opportunities available or result in lack of liquidity and high price volatility with respect to securities of issuers from developing countries.
Foreign Currency Translation:
The market value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities of the International Index Fund denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the current exchange rate at the close of each business day. Purchases and sales of securities, income receipts and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars based at the exchange rate on the date of the transaction.
Federal Income Taxes:
It is the Fund’s policy to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, and to distribute timely all of its net investment company taxable income and net capital gains to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. Under the applicable foreign tax law, a withholding tax may be imposed on interest, dividends and capital gains earned on foreign investments at various rates. Where available, the International Index Fund will file for claims on foreign taxes withheld.
The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the ‘‘Act’’) was enacted on December 22, 2010. The Act makes changes to several tax rules impacting the Fund. In general, the provisions of the Act will be effective for the Fund’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2011. The Act provides several benefits, including the unlimited carryover of future capital losses. Relevant information regarding the impact of the Act on the Fund, if any, will be contained within the ‘‘Federal Tax Information’’ section of the notes to financial statements beginning in 2011 reporting periods.
Redemption Fees:
The Fund will charge a redemption fee of 2.00 percent of the total redemption amount if a shareholder sells or exchanges shares after holding them for less than 30 days subject to certain exceptions and limitations described in the Fund’s Prospectus.
3. Purchases and Sales of Securities:
Purchases and sales of securities (excluding short-term debt securities having maturities one year or less and U.S. Government Securities) for the period ended December 31, 2010 were as follows:
Purchases Sales
International Index Fund $19,602 $ -
4. Related Party Transactions:
Everence Capital Management, Inc., the Adviser (a separate corporate entity controlled by Everence Holdings, Inc.), provides investment advisory services to the Fund. Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Adviser is entitled to receive fees based on a percentage of the average daily net assets of the Fund in the amount of 0.60%. The Adviser has retained Aperio Group LLC as a Sub-Adviser to manage the investments of the Fund under the terms of a Sub-Advisory Agreement.
6
MMA Praxis International Index Fund
Notes to financial statements
December 31, 2010
The Adviser has entered into an expense limitation agreement with respect to the Fund until April 30, 2012, but can be terminated by a vote of the Board of Trustees of the Fund if they deem the termination to be beneficial to the Fund shareholders, pursuant to which the Adviser has agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary in order to limit the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (excluding brokerage costs, interest, taxes, dividends, acquired fund fees and expenses, fees paid to vendors providing fair value pricing and fund compliance services, Trustees fees, legal fees, costs relating to such services and extraordinary expenses) of the Fund to 1.65% of the Fund's average daily net assets. The Fund has agreed to repay the Adviser for the amounts waived and/or reimbursed by the Adviser pursuant to this expense limitation agreement provided that such repayment does not cause the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (excluding brokerage costs, interest, taxes, dividends, acquired fund fees and expenses, fees paid to vendors providing fair value pricing and fund compliance services, Trustees fees, legal fees, costs relating to such services and extraordinary expenses) to exceed 1.65%, and the repayment is made within three years after the year in which the Adviser waived and/or reimbursed the expense. |
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMorgan”) provides administrative, accounting, transfer agency, shareholder servicing and dividend disbursing services on behalf of the Trust. For these services, JPMorgan receives an annual fee, paid monthly, from the Fund.
BHIL Distributors, Inc. (“Underwriter” or “Distributor”) serves as the Fund’s principal underwriter and, as such, acts as exclusive agent for distribution of the Fund.
The Trust has adopted a Plan of Distribution (12b-1 plan) for the Fund under which the Fund may directly incur or reimburse the Adviser or the Underwriter for expenses related to the distribution and promotion of shares. The Rule 12b-1 Plan authorizes Class A Shares of the Fund to pay a 12b-1 fee of 0.25 percent of the average daily net assets of the Fund. The Distributor may use the 12b-1 fee for shareholder servicing and for distribution.
Under the terms of the Compliance and Financial Controls Service Agreements between the Trust and Beacon Hill Fund Services (“Beacon Hill”), Beacon Hill provides certain compliance and financial control services to the Trust, including developing and assisting in implementing a compliance program for the Trust, providing administrative support services to the Fund’s Compliance Program, providing the Chief Compliance Officer and providing the Chief Financial Officer. For these services, Beacon Hill receives a monthly fee from the Fund.
Certain Officers of the Trust are affiliated with the Adviser, Distributor and/or JPMorgan. With the exception of the Chief Compliance Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, such Officers are not paid any fees directly by the Fund for serving as Officers of the Trust.
5. Subsequent Events
The Fund evaluated events from December 31, 2010 through the date that these financial statements were issued. There were no significant events that would have a material impact on the Fund’s financial statements.

MMA Praxis International Index Fund
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders
of MMA Praxis International Index Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of portfolio investments, of the MMA Praxis International Index Fund (one of the portfolios constituting the MMA Praxis Mutual Funds) (the “Fund”) as of December 31, 2010, and the related statement of changes in net assets for the period then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2010, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the MMA Praxis International Index Fund of the MMA Praxis Mutual Funds at December 31, 2010, and the changes in its net assets for the period then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

(2) such services were not recognized by the funds at the time of the engagement to be non-audit services; and
(3) such services are promptly brought to the attention of the committee and approved prior to the completion of the audit by the committee or its delegate(s) (as defined below).
(C) Delegation
The committee may delegate to one or more of its members ("delegates") authority to pre-approve the auditor's provision of audit services or permissible non-audit services to the funds, or the provision of non- audit services to the adviser or any adviser-affiliated service provider.
