Message from the President
Dear MMA Praxis Shareholder:
The first half of 2008 dramatically reinforced the notion that over the short term the stock market is predictably unpredictable. A sharply negative first quarter was followed by two months of positive returns, but the carnage resumed with a vengeance in June, with large-cap stocks (as measured by the S&P 500 Index) dropping 8.4 percent for the month and 2.7 percent in the second quarter.
The S&P is now down nearly 12 percent for the first half of this year, and is about 18 percent below its October 2007 high. Growth stocks outperformed Value-oriented equities during the first two quarters, by a margin of 6.8 percent (MSCI Prime Market Value vs. Growth). International stocks, as measured by the MSCI EAFE Index, also had a rough month, losing 8.2 percent in June and 2.3 percent in the second quarter. Foreign stocks are now down nearly 11 percent through the first half of 2008.
The market offered few places to hide during the first half of 2008. Bonds were among a relatively few number of asset classes that preserved investor’s capital. Domestic high-quality bonds are up just over 1.1 percent for the year. Though not a good return in a normal environment, bonds nevertheless provided balanced investors with a margin of protection from stock-market losses, which is part of their role.

Shockwaves hit the financial markets
Earlier in March, the Bear Stearns bailout and the Federal Reserve’s unprecedented actions to shore up credit markets and create liquidity led many to hope we were past the worst of the financial crisis and the stock market had hit bottom. Today it seems that while the Fed’s actions may have significantly reduced the risk and fear of a full-scale financial meltdown, the losses from bad loans are not only continuing, but are worse than expected. Meanwhile, the housing market is experiencing significant price declines, and with new waves of foreclosures hitting the market (creating oversupply in many areas), there is no immediate end in sight.
The “bubble mania” of soaring home prices and easy credit is now gone. With it has gone a major source of consumer spending (which accounts for nearly 70 percent of the U.S. economy). Add in the impact of high levels of household debt (which suggests the need to save rather than spend), higher gas and food prices, a weakening labor market, and, by one measure, consumer confidence at a 28-year low, and it seems increasingly likely that consumer spending will continue to deteriorate. The damaging combination of a slowing economy and higher inflation has also led to questions about the ability of the Fed to support economic growth and employment without stoking fears that it has gone soft on inflation. At their latest meeting in June, the Fed held rates steady (after seven previous rate cuts) and expectations of higher rates later this year have hurt stock prices. The translation of all this is that risks to the economy remain high, and the financial markets are now more fully discounting this risk, which is clearly manifested through the battering of stocks.
As always, there are positives as well. Outside the financial sector, corporate balance sheets remain generally healthy and earnings, for the most part, have met expectations. One source of strength has been exports, which so far have managed to offset much of the impact of the housing decline on the economy. But this could diminish if a slowing United States economy means we also export economic weakness to the rest of the globe. A few indicators point to this scenario.

Message from the President
Making decisions in an uncertain environment
“History is merely a list of surprises. It can only prepare us to be surprised yet again.”— Kurt Vonnegut
Though we have experienced many market crises, we also recognize that history never repeats itself exactly. One obvious possibility is that things will get worse before they get better in the stock market. Even without a severe recession, fear and pessimism can take hold of investor psychology and send the market down further than what would be justified by long-term economic fundamentals.
In this type of environment, a sense of perspective and a reliance on investment discipline can help investors avoid becoming panicked by short-term concerns and paralyzed by longer-term uncertainty. Like it or not, investors in stocks and bonds are always faced with making decisions in an uncertain world. This will not change. However, investors who have lived through previous bear markets have learned two important lessons.
First, as I have written in previous commentaries, experienced investors will avoid the knee-jerk reaction to become defensive and reduce their exposure to stocks. It is easy to put too much weight on negative scenarios when bad news dominates the daily headlines, but the astute investor views stocks as priced to outperform bonds over most five-year scenarios.
A second lesson is that big market downturns invariably present opportunities and offer long-term investors the chance to buy quality companies at reasonable prices. Bubbles lead investors to make errors in judgment and misjudge the value of assets in a period of speculative fervor. On the way down, riskier assets often fall to bargain prices when investors are in the grip of fear. The experienced investor is able to identify those asset classes where investor panic has led to excessive undervaluation, and patiently wait for prices to recover.
While the perspective gained from years of investing experience is instructive, one must also be cognizant of the danger of becoming overconfident. It is important to remain intellectually honest about what one can and cannot assess, and remain focused on fundamentals and valuations and, through rigorous research and analysis, calculate both the potential upside and the downside for an asset class or individual security. At MMA Praxis, we believe we have selected active managers who have demonstrated their ability to manage portfolios consistent with this process.
Returns on stocks over the last 10 years have been disappointing. For the 10-year period ended June 30, 2008, the S&P 500 has compounded at just under 3 percent annually — a little more than 70 basis points below the annual return on Treasury bills. After a 10-year period of far-below-average gains, many investors believe we are “due” for some strong United States equity performance over the next five-plus years. Is this intuition or hope realistic?
Establishing realistic return expectations
In the decade prior to this one (June 1988 to June 1998), the S&P 500 returned an incredible 18.6 percent annually. This time span includes the halcyonic mid-’90s when interest rates declined precipitously, the growth rate for corporate earnings climbed above long-term trends, and price/earnings multiples on trailing 12-month earnings expanded from a historical average in the mid teens to nearly 30 times! As we now understand, investors took their enthusiasm way too far in the subsequent bubble period and pushed the price of stocks to extreme levels. Thus, the low returns of the past 10 years have forced investors to give back some of the excess earned in the previous decade. When both periods are combined, stocks have returned a little more than 10 percent annually in the 20 years through June 2008. That is very much in line with their long-term average.
Some investors may assume that, having come through a decade of above-average returns and then a decade of below-average returns, we will return to “normal” and can now expect average returns of 10 to 12 percent a year on stocks. Unfortunately, the stock market is forward looking and doesn’t care where it’s been — past performance doesn’t determine future results. As we look forward to the next five years, our general expectation is for a low-return environment overall — for both stocks and bonds. It is our belief that the most likely range of annualized returns for large-cap United States stocks over the next five years is 5 to 9 percent, though obviously returns could (and probably will) fall outside that band during some 12-month period(s). We offer this muted return forecast to help investors develop realistic expectations in building their financial plans; and to rely as much on increased savings as outsized market returns in realizing their financial planning goals.

Portfolio performance
MMA Praxis Intermediate Income Fund
Inflation is the key driver of interest rates, and longer-term, many market pundits see inflation as a risk. Reported inflation (as measured by the Consumer Price Index) stood at 4.2 percent as of May 31, 2008 (year over year comparison). Oil prices have been a big factor in the volatility in reported inflation in recent years. Core inflation, which excludes the relatively volatile food and energy sectors, was at 2.3 percent for the trailing 12 months (May 31, 2008). Other economic indicators that impact interest rates are the severity of the current credit crisis, housing prices, central bank vigilance, fiscal policy, strength of the dollar, and commodity prices.
Clearly, there are many economic uncertainties that could affect the direction of interest rates (and the price of bonds), but as noted many times before in these reports, bonds are an important diversifier in a well designed asset allocation strategy. Most investors should maintain a fixed percentage of their portfolio allocated to fixed income investments that is commensurate with their risk tolerance, investment objectives, and time horizon.
The Class A Share (NAV) posted a small gain of 0.92 percent for the first six months of 2008. These returns slightly lagged the benchmark established for the Praxis Income Fund (Lehman Aggregate Bond Index), which returned 1.13 percent over the same period. For in in-depth analysis of this Fund’s strategy, please read the co-portfolio manager’s commentary found later in this report.
MMA Praxis Core Stock Fund
The United States stock market had an abysmal first half of the year, with the S&P 500 losing nearly 12 percent. Earnings within the financial sector have been hit by the housing slowdown and problems associated with sub-prime loan write-downs. It remains unclear how bad this will ultimately get, and how long it might last. As noted earlier, investor psychology can heavily influence stock prices over the short term, and history shows investors usually carry prices to extreme levels in times of market exuberance and “oversell” on the way down during market meltdowns. Patient investors historically have been rewarded for staying the course, and we encourage our shareholders to adhere to this sound advice.
For the first six months of 2008, the Core Stock Fund Class A Share (NAV) returned −12.62 percent. These returns were marginally less than the established benchmark (S&P 500) for the MMA Praxis Core Stock Fund, which returned −11.91 percent. For a detailed explanation of those factors that contributed to the Fund’s performance, please read the portfolio managers commentary, found later in this report.
MMA Praxis Value Index Fund
For the first half of 2008, the Value Index Fund A Shares (NAV) were down 17.63 percent. The benchmark index for this fund, the MSCI U.S. Prime Market Value Index, declined 14.58 percent. (Note: It is not possible to invest directly in an index. Indexes do not incur expenses like an index fund.) The meltdown of the financial services sector was a major factor in the outsized losses experienced by value investors during the first six months of the year. For a more detailed discussion of performance attribution, please read the portfolio manager’s report.
MMA Praxis Growth Index Fund
The MMA Praxis Growth Index Fund is now just over one year old. It was designed to complement the MMA Praxis Value Index Fund. Both funds are managed through a passive indexing strategy that is intended to replicate the performance of large- and mid-sized growth stocks. Combining the MMA Praxis Value and Growth Index Funds will allow investors to gain broad, low-cost exposure to the United States stock market. As with all MMA Praxis Funds, these two integrate MMA’s stewardship investing guidelines. This includes screening companies based on ethical values, shareholder advocacy to encourage companies to be more responsible businesses and corporate citizens, and community development investing.
Thus far in 2008, the Fund (Class A Share, NAV) has returned −9.04 percent, trailing its benchmark, the MSCI U.S. Prime Growth Index, which generated a return of −7.82 percent for the same period.
MMA Praxis International Fund
Many international investors are well aware of the outsized returns that have been generated over the past five years. For the five-year period ended June 30, 2008, an investor in the MMA Praxis International
3
Fund Class A Share (NAV) has realized an average annual return of 13.02 percent. What they may not be aware of is that a good portion of this strong performance has come from currency price movements. For the first two quarters of 2008, developed international markets, as represented by the MSCI EAFE Index, declined 10.96 percent in United States dollar terms and 15.70 percent in local currency terms. The performance differential reflects the dollar’s depreciation against a basket of major currencies. Looking at the trailing five years ending June 30, the dollar’s depreciation versus a basket of other developed currencies accounts for one-third of the MSCI EAFE index’s annualized returns (16.67 percent in United States dollars versus 11.22 percent in local currency).
For the first six-months of 2008, the MMA Praxis International Fund Class A Share (NAV) returned −12.91 percent. The Fund underperformed its benchmark, the Morgan Stanley EAFE Index, which returned −10.96 percent. You are encouraged to read the commentary written by the portfolio manager for a more complete understanding of factors that contributed to the performance of the Fund thus far in 2008.
MMA Praxis Small Cap Fund
Large-cap stocks typically outperform in bear markets, but small-company stocks tend to do better than large-caps when the market is beginning to anticipate an economic recovery. The economy is clearly weak right now, and may even be in recession. Because the market is forward looking, however, it is not uncommon for small-caps to begin outperforming before recoveries are validated by empirical data. That said, there is meaningful uncertainty about how long the current economic malaise may last. Some indicators could lead an investor to conclude this is more than just a run-of-the-mill cyclical slowdown.
Against this backdrop of uncertainty, the prudent investor will stay the course with an appropriate allocation to small-cap stocks, which over a long period have delivered higher returns than large company stocks.
For the first six months of 2008, an investor in the Praxis Small-Cap Fund Class A Share (NAV) would have experienced a return of −9.37 percent, which is identical to the return delivered by the fund’s benchmark, the Russell 2000 Index.
Closing thoughts
The first half of 2008 saw several major developments in MMA’s stewardship investing activities. Please be sure to read Mark Regier’s report for a thorough discussion of these important initiatives.
This will be the last letter I pen to shareholders in the MMA Praxis Mutual Funds, as I recently announced my intent to retire from MMA at the end of 2008, after thirty-two years of service. Over the next few months, I will work closely with the Board of Directors and MMA senior management in assuring a smooth transition to a new Chief Executive Officer. It has been a great privilege to serve as President of the MMA Praxis Funds over the past eleven years. I wish nothing but success for the Funds, and will continue to maintain a personal investment in the Funds, as I firmly believe in the importance of integrating values with investment decisions.
All of us at MMA remain grateful for the trust and confidence you have demonstrated in MMA Praxis Mutual Funds. We take our stewardship responsibilities seriously and I can assure you that my colleagues, who will continue their service to the Funds, will endeavor to generate both financial and social returns on your investments.
Thank you for allowing us to partner with you in meeting your financial planning goals.
Sincerely,
John L. Liechty
President, MMA Praxis Mutual Funds

MMA Praxis Stewardship Investing Report
Doing sub-prime right!
A recent report from the Social Investment Forum confirmed that many of those who fell victim to the sub-prime mortgage industry would have been better served by the services offered by community development financial institutions (CDFIs). These community banks, community development credit unions, and nonprofit loans funds work with low-income or credit-challenged clients to help them succeed over the long term.
The Center for Responsible Lending predicts that 2.2 million borrowers could lose homes with an attendant loss of $164 billion in wealth in 2008. The demographics hardest hit by predatory lending in the sub-prime market include racial and ethnic minorities, the elderly, women, and low and moderate income borrowers.
CDFIs across the country are rescuing families hurt by predatory practices in the sub-prime mortgage industry through targeted outreach to borrowers, financial counseling, restructuring consumer debt, modifying loans for distressed borrowers, granting short-term loans, and managing repossessed properties. MMA supports these solutions through investments (more than $5.6 million) in CDFIs held by MMA Community Development Investments (MMA CDI). Read the full report on the Social Investment forum (www.socialinvest.org) or learn more about MMA CDI (www.mma-online.org).
Wal-Mart seeks to model sustainability
In late January, Lee Scott, CEO and president of Wal-Mart, delivered an address at Wal-Mart’s Year Beginning Meeting on sustainability. Scott’s remarks are visionary and echo a number of points made by socially concerned investors — including MMA Praxis — for many years. He also states, “It is one thing to say you want to do this. It is a whole different ballgame to actually do it ... But your Wal-Mart will do this.” This acknowledgment is encouraging, as shareholder advocates have had concerns that Wal-Mart’s sustainability rhetoric has increased, but its practices lag.
Of great significance is Scott’s pledge to prefer and — possibly pay more for — suppliers that meet or exceed Wal-Mart’s social and environmental criteria. If true, this approach constitutes a fundamental change in Wal-Mart’s business plan. The relentless drive toward low dollar costs (at all other costs) is at the heart of shareholders’ concerns about the company’s current unsustainable approach.
The value of voting shares
Spring is a time when many corporations hold their annual meetings to vote on proposals submitted by both management and shareholders. One privilege of owning shares of common stock is the right to vote on these proposals. MMA takes voting seriously. MMA Praxis votes proxies in favor of well-considered social and environmental shareholder resolutions that promote innovative thinking about long-term sustainability and success, in accordance with proxy voting guidelines. But how effective are these resolutions?
A new academic study by professors from Harvard and Duke Universities and the University of North Carolina, claims that implementation of shareholder proposals (which are non-binding) has nearly doubled in the recent past, from 22 percent in 1997-2002 to more than 40 percent during 2003-04. The percentage of shareholder support, size of the institution(s) sponsoring the proposal, and the reaction of peer firms to like proposals are the biggest determinants on how the company will react.
Many recent resolutions in the realm of corporate governance have garnered high support and led to implementation. Social and environmental resolutions have also seen increasing success, though less so. As more large institutional investors (such as pension funds) lend their support to more socially-oriented resolutions, these proposals will become more effective.
Toyota’s human side
MMA Praxis signed a shareholder letter that has been sent to Toyota in response to allegations about the auto manufacturer’s treatment of workers. In June, the National Labor Committee released a troubling, in-depth report on the human toll of Toyota’s auto manufacturing. The report links Toyota to human
5
MMA Praxis Stewardship Investing Report
trafficking and sweatshop abuse, the use of 10,000 low-wage temporary workers, unpaid overtime and severely overworked employees, repression of unions, and an overall lowering of wages and benefits throughout the United States. Toyota has yet to generate a significant response.
Toyota has been lauded for its green cars, as it fields an impressive array of hybrid vehicles. Yet, Toyota seems to lag behind on human rights and justice issues.
This is a good reminder that sustainability goes beyond “being green” to include employee — and stakeholder — well-being. Stakeholders are those who are affected by a company’s actions, such as employees, customers, and those who live next to a factory. If people are suffering directly or indirectly because of a company, that company has a problem with sustainability. When MMA Praxis and other shareholder advocates engage companies on social issues, we seek to have the fullest expression of sustainability addressed.
Concerned Toyota shareholders are seeking ongoing dialogue and are encouraging the company to use a comprehensive human rights impact assessment tool to chart a path forward.
MMA Praxis purchases bonds for Latin American development
The MMA Praxis Intermediate Income Fund has purchased $1 million in IDB (Inter-American Development Bank) bonds. The IDB helps foster sustainable economic and social development in Latin America and the Caribbean. It provides financing, leverage, policy advice, research, and technical assistance to carry out development projects in 26 countries. Since 1959, the IDB has supported more than 300 projects for social and economic development with an average of $10 billion in financing a year.
Continued conversation with Bank of America
MMA Praxis has been actively involved in shareholder advocacy with Bank of America (BAC) regarding its funding of coal-fired power plants and mountaintop removal (MTR) mining projects. Along with representatives from Trillium Asset Management, the Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility, and Ceres, MMA met with BAC’s Managing Directors of Energy, Global Industries, and Natural Resources, as well as other executives.
The coalition’s goal is to encourage BAC to place a moratorium on the funding of new coal-fired power plants and new MTR projects — and eventually stop financing them altogether — in an effort to reduce financial risk and curb greenhouse gas emissions and other environmental damage.
During the meeting, coalition participants spoke with the managers about corporate loan policy and environmental concerns. BAC has begun shifting some of its portfolio away from carbon-based energy and toward renewable energy. They have also devoted $20 billion over 10 years for environmental loan initiatives and they are a vocal proponent of a cap-and-trade system for greenhouse gases. However, there is still room for improvement according to their own stated goals.
BAC has been concerned about its environmental footprint for years. Their 54-story building in New York, where the coalition met with them, is seeking platinum LEED certification, and generates half its energy on-site from the sun. Now BAC is working to pursue greener strategies in its loan portfolio — and MMA Praxis will continue to engage them in this direction.
Dialogue with ConAgra
In April, MMA Praxis co-filed a resolution at ConAgra along with the Basilian Fathers of Toronto on the issue of its food supply chain security and sustainability. The resolution requested that the company’s board of directors report to shareholders, within six months, the measures the company has taken to ensure the long-term sustainability of their supply chain. In the last few years, many issues have surfaced regarding the safety of the global food supply, including outbreaks of e-coli bacteria in spinach and frozen hamburger in the United States and poisoned pet food, seafood, and other products from China.
MMA Praxis co-filed the resolution with the hope it would initiate a dialogue with ConAgra — and that strategy has worked. After receiving the resolution, ConAgra contacted MMA and the Basilian Fathers about possibilities for dropping the resolution. ConAgra has been consolidating dozens of subsidiaries into its main firm, which made a company-wide report unfeasible. With that transition nearly complete, ConAgra is ready to begin the process of writing a sustainability report and has established a timeline for

The OneWorld Community Investment Program, sponsored by MMA Community Development Investments and Mennonite Economic Development Associates, passed its one-year anniversary in May. The program, offered in partnership with the Calvert Foundation, enables individuals to invest in a portfolio of high quality community investments with as little as $1,000. OneWorld allows investors to channel their investments to either international microfinance programs, domestic faith-based community development efforts, or both. To date, more than $434,000 has been invested via the program impacting the future of hundreds of families and communities in the United States and around the world. Learn more by visiting www.mma-online.org.
New CDI initiative to focus on long-term disaster recovery
In partnership with five other institutions, MMA Community Development Investments (MMA CDI) recently helped launch The Isaiah Funds, an interfaith effort to rebuild communities following natural disasters. The funds will provide low-cost capital to disadvantaged communities who are especially hard hit, with an initial focus on hurricane recovery efforts along the Gulf Coast.
Economic redevelopment is a vital, and often overlooked, second stage to disaster recovery. MMA CDI plans to invest up to $500,000 in the funds by 2009. Approximately 85 percent (more than $10 million) of MMA CDI assets come from the MMA Praxis Mutual Funds as part of the Fund’s commitment to community development investing.
Though much of the Gulf Coast has regained the appearance of normalcy, some of the hardest rebuilding work lies ahead. The Isaiah Funds anticipate making more than $10 million in investments in New Orleans and the Gulf Coast Region by the end of 2009. Visit www.isaiahfunds.org to learn more.

MMA Praxis Intermediate Income Fund
Annual report to shareholders
Portfolio managers’ letter
The first half of 2008 was a difficult time for all sectors of the capital markets except commodities. Investment grade fixed income did have a positive return, which was a big plus compared to stocks.
In the first quarter, Treasury bonds rallied strongly as investors tried to avoid risk with liquidity falling sharply. After the collapse of Bear Stearns in March, credit markets quieted down and spreads tightened. There was a huge flood of new issues at attractive levels. Fund managers took the opportunity to moderately overweight credit given the historically wide levels of spreads and the attractive level of yields.
Commercial mortgage backed securities (CMBS) also offered good value at historically wide levels. The overweight positions in CMBS and credit versus the Lehman Aggregate Index helped provide strong relative results in the second quarter.
As markets recovered, concern about inflation grew and oil and other commodity prices rose sharply. Inflation concerns led to a back up in Treasury yields. With a shorter than benchmark duration, the Fund benefited on a relative basis.
Another positive for the Fund was its well above benchmark yield. With wide spreads even in high quality securities, there were ample opportunities to improve the yield versus the index benchmark.
Outlook
In the second half we expect the economy to slow as the benefits from the tax rebates wear off. Unemployment appears to be headed toward 6 percent or higher. Real incomes are under pressure, high oil prices are a drag, and declining wealth from weak home prices and declining stock prices are adding to consumer woes.
As consumer demand weakens, we expect business demand to slow further. Corporate projects should decline in such an environment. Eventually weak credits will be pressured and defaults will rise. In this kind of environment, high quality bonds should do well.
The housing market which started the downturn continues to battle price declines in many markets. As defaults rise, more mortgage debt is defaulting which adds pressure to the already difficult environment for financial companies. Financials such as banks and brokers have had losses in many cases that are pressuring their capital ratios. This in turn forces tighter credit standards and reduces bank lending.
Several potential events are likely to keep risk perceptions at extreme levels over the next few months. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are two of them. As a result, we plan to keep a conservative profile in the portfolio for now. We do expect credit spreads to reach their March wides or perhaps surpass them. We want to be in a position to add exposure to quality credits if that happens. We believe markets tend to go to extremes and that another extreme will occur offering opportunities for attractive income and returns for you as shareholders, while taking reasonable levels of risk.

Past performance does not guarantee future results. The performance data quoted represents past performance and current returns may be lower or higher. The investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed may be worth more or less than the original cost. These performance figures do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. To obtain performance information current to the most recent month end, please visit mmapraxis.com.
* | Reflects maximum front-end sales charge of 3.75%. | |
** | The Fund imposes a back-end sales charge (load) on Class B Shares if you sell your shares before a certain period of time has elasped. This is called a Contingent Deferred Sales Charge (“CDSC”). The CDSC declines over five years starting with year one and ending in year six as follows: 4%, 4%, 3%, 2%, 1%.. |
Class A Shares and Class I Shares of this Fund were not in existence prior to 5/12/99 and 5/1/06, respectively. Class A Share performance and Class I Share performance calculated for any period prior to 5/12/99 and 5/1/06 are based on the performance of Class B Shares since inception of 1/4/94. The B Share Contingent Deferred Sales Charge (CDSC) does not apply to performance over 5 years; therefore, the 10-year return does not reflect the CDSC.
The total return set forth reflects certain expenses that were voluntarily reduced, reimbursed or paid by third party. In such instances, and without this activity, total return would have been lower.

Portfolio managers’ letter
MMA Praxis Core Stock Fund Performance Overview
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2008, the Class A shares of MMA Praxis Core Stock Fund decreased by 12.62 percent compared to its benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, which decreased 11.91 percent. The Energy sector of the S&P 500 turned in the strongest performance over the six-month period. The Financial, Telecommunication service, and Industrial sectors of the S&P 500 turned in the weakest performance over the six-month period.
Key contributors to performance
Energy companies were the most important contributors to the Fund’s performance over the six-month period. The Fund’s energy companies out-performed the corresponding sector within the S&P 500 (up 24 percent versus up 9 percent for the index) and the Fund also benefited from a higher relative weighting in this sector (14 percent versus 13 percent for the index). ConocoPhillips, Devon Energy, EOG Resources, and Transocean were among the top contributors to performance.
The Fund managers have identified a number of investment opportunities in foreign companies. The Fund ended the period with approximately 11 percent of its assets invested in foreign companies. As a group, the foreign companies owned by the Fund declined in value, but out-performed the S&P 500 over the period.
Key detractors from performance
The Fund’s financial companies out-performed the corresponding sector within the S&P 500 (down 25 percent versus down 30 percent for the index), but were still the largest detractors from performance. A higher relative average weighting in this sector (38 percent versus 17 percent for the index) detracted from both absolute and relative performance. While Millea Holdings (changed name to Tokio Marine Holdings in July 2008) and Visa (purchased in March) were among the top contributors to performance, American International Group, Wachovia, American Express, Berkshire Hathaway, JPMorgan Chase, Merrill Lynch, and Wells Fargo were among the top detractors from performance.
The weak performance of the Fund’s information technology companies (down 17 percent versus down 13 percent for the index) detracted from performance. Microsoft and Iron Mountain were among the top detractors from performance.

Past performance does not guarantee future results. The performance data quoted represents past performance and current returns may be lower or higher. The investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed may be worth more or less than the original cost. These performance figures do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. To obtain performance information current to the most recent month end, please visit mmapraxis.com.
* | Reflects maximum front-end sales charge of 5.25%. | |
** | The Fund imposes a back-end sales charge (load) on Class B Shares if you sell your shares before a certain period of time has elasped. This is called a Contingent Deferred Sales Charge (“CDSC”). The CDSC declines over five years starting with year one and ending in year six as follows: 4%, 4%, 3%, 2%, 1%. |
Class A Shares and Class I Shares of this Fund were not in existence prior to 5/12/99 and 5/1/06, respectively. Class A Share performance and Class I Share performance calculated for any period prior to 5/12/99 and 5/1/06 are based on the performance of Class B Shares since inception of 1/4/94. The B Share Contingent Deferred Sales Charge (CDSC) does not apply to performance over 5 years; therefore, the 10-year return does not reflect the CDSC.
The total return set forth reflects certain expenses that were voluntarily reduced, reimbursed or paid by third party. In such instances, and without this activity, total return would have been lower.

For performance purposes, the above graph has not been adjusted for CDSC charges.
This chart represents historical performance of a hypothetical investment of $10,000 in the Core Stock Fund from 6/30/98 to 6/30/08, and represents the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains in the Fund.
Past performance does not guarantee future results. The performance data quoted represents past performance and current returns may be lower or higher. The investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed may be worth more or less than the original cost. These performance figures do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. To obtain performance information current to the most recent month end, please visit mmapraxis.com.
The total return set forth reflects certain expenses that were voluntarily reduced, reimbursed or paid by third party. In such instances, and without this activity, total return would have been lower.
* | Reflects maximum front-end sales charge of 5.25%. |
Class A Shares and Class I Shares of this Fund were not in existence prior to 5/12/99 and 5/1/06, respectively. Class A Share performance and Class I Share performance calculated for any period prior to 5/12/99 and 5/1/06 are based on the performance of Class B Shares since inception of 1/4/94. The B Share Contingent Deferred Sales Charge (CDSC) does not apply to performance over 5 years; therefore, the 10-year return does not reflect the CDSC.

MMA Praxis Value Index Fund
Semi-annual report to shareholders
Portfolio manager’s letter
The credit crisis that began in the middle of 2007 continues to take its toll on the value style of investing, particularly because of the large role financial companies play in most value style indexes. This trend continued during the first half of 2008, with value stocks as measured by the MSCI Prime Market Value Index generating a return of −14.58% versus the MSCI Prime Market Growth Index with a return of −7.82%. The contrast is even starker for the year ending June 30, 2008 with value trailing growth −19.81% to −3.79% as measured by the same MSCI style indexes. These trends stretch back even further in time, with financial companies checking in with the worst performance (25.7%, Standard & Poor’s Financial Index) since the market low in October 2002 while energy clocked the best performance (326.1%, Standard & Poor’s Energy Index) during the same period.
A countervailing trend to the financial meltdown in most large company value indexes has been the tremendous success of energy companies, particularly large integrated oil companies, over the last several years as oil prices have soared above $140 per barrel. Still, the weight of financial companies in value indexes — at more than double the weight of energy companies — caused the negative performance of financials to more than offset the positive performance of the energy companies.
These two sectors — Financials and Energy — have played a major role in the relative performance of the MMA Praxis Value Index Fund as well. The Fund’s A shares delivered a disappointing −17.63 percent for the first half of 2008 versus its public benchmark, the MSCI Prime Market Value Index, which registered −14.58 percent. As we have described in the past, MMA Praxis’ stewardship investing screens preclude the Fund from investing in some, but not all, large oil companies due to their lack of leadership in the area of environmental stewardship. The weight that would have been invested in these energy companies is effectively spread over the remaining companies in the Fund. Since the financial sector has been the largest sector in the Fund, it receives the largest portion of the reallocated weight. In short, the Fund has been underweight in the energy sector — the best performing sector for the last few years — and overweight in the financial sector, by far the worst performing sector.
In terms of the impact of individual companies, the negatives are a Who’s Who of large financial companies including AIG, Bank of America, Citigroup, Wachovia, and Merrill Lynch. Not owning Chevron during the period also cost the Fund potential returns. The only material positives for the Fund were losses avoided by not investing in General Electric and Pfizer, both of which had poor performance during the period.
We are confident these trends will eventually reverse and be replaced by new sector leadership. Of course, the timing and magnitude of these reversals is unpredictable.

** | The Fund imposes a back-end sales charge (load) on Class B Shares if you sell your shares before a certain period of time has elasped. This is called a Contingent Deferred Sales Charge (“CDSC”). The CDSC declines over five years starting with year one and ending in year six as follows: 4%, 4%, 3%, 2%, 1%. |

MMA Praxis Growth Index Fund
Semi-annual report to shareholders
Portfolio manager’s letter
The credit crisis that began in the middle of 2007 continues to take its toll on the value style of investing, particularly because of the large role financial companies play in most value style indexes. This trend continued during the first half of 2008, with value stocks as measured by the MSCI Prime Market Value Index generating a return of −14.58% versus the MSCI Prime Market Growth Index with a return of −7.82%. The contrast is even starker for the year ending June 30, 2008 with value trailing growth −19.81% to −3.79% as measured by the same MSCI style indexes. These trends stretch back even further in time, with financial companies checking in with the worst performance (25.7%, Standard & Poor’s Financial Index) since the market low in October 2002 while energy clocked the best performance (326.1%, Standard & Poor’s Energy Index) during the same period.
Growth style indexes tend to have smaller portions of their weight in financials and energy stocks, the two sectors that have driven the market in opposite directions over the last year or so. In most growth style indexes, technology companies typically represent the largest portion of portfolio assets. In the MMA Praxis Growth Index Fund, for example, the weight of the Technology sector is more than twice as large as the Financial and Energy sectors combined. Technology stocks were, in general, down during the first half of the year (−13.6 percent, Standard & Poor 500 Technology Index) and approximately in line with the overall S&P 500 Index, which lost 11.9 percent.
For the first half of 2008, the Fund’s A shares fell 9.04 percent, trailing the MSCI Prime Market Growth Index’s 7.82 percent decline. A major part of this underperformance, in addition to the fees associated with mutual funds that are not borne by costless indexes, was the Fund’s position in energy-related stocks. Even with energy playing a smaller role in this Fund relative to the sector’s influence in the MMA Praxis Value Index Fund, underweight positions in several oil companies contributed to relative underperformance. Underweight positions in the metals and mining industry also contributed to negative performance. On the positive side of the ledger, the Fund’s screening out of defense related companies contributed to performance relative to the benchmark.
In terms of the impact of specific companies on first half performance, the missed opportunity of not investing in Halliburton, Schlumberger, and Occidental Petroleum, all excluded for their environmental and or human rights records, cost the Fund. On the positive side, the Fund’s decision not to invest in Boeing, United Technologies, and Honeywell International, excluded for exposure to defense contracts, caused the Fund to avoid potential losses.
In general, the make up of a typical growth index includes fewer companies subject to MMA’s screens as compared to value indexes. As a result, we expect the Fund’s performance to more closely match that of the MSCI Prime Market Growth Index over time as compared with the MMA Praxis Value Index Fund’s performance relative to its benchmark.

Portfolio manager’s letter
The first half of 2008 can be only described as a volatile period for global equity markets. The weakness of the first quarter was followed by an April rally that peaked on May 19 and saw markets unraveling from then right up to the end of June. In part, portfolio activity in the period reflected this turbulent environment. During the first quarter we had further reduced exposure to Financials, thereby increasing an already significant underweight position. However, as the market began to recover we felt it prudent to reduce the level of this underweight by selective acquisitions, particularly of stocks with little need for capital, such as securities exchanges, and those with lower or minimal exposure to the mortgage crisis, such as specific insurers. Other meaningful changes included reductions in Consumer Discretionary and Telecommunication Services with increased exposure to Health Care, in particular the larger pharmaceutical companies. Cash levels were also higher at period end. Geographically, Europe saw the largest reduction, mainly in France, Spain, and Italy, with Japan and Emerging Markets being the main increases.
The portfolio slightly underperformed the return on the MSCI EAFE Index. Health Care, Information Technology, and Financials were the leading contributors, benefiting from better than market returns in each case and, in the case of Financials, the benefits of an underweight in the period’s worst performing sector. In Health Care, Germany’s Fresenius contributed alongside solid contributions from Novartis and Roche, the leading pharmaceuticals. Fresenius is viewed as being largely immune against an economic downturn as it should have little impact on the need for Fresenius’ dialysis facilities.
Canon rose strongly in the period as it continues to see steady demand for digital cameras in emerging markets, consumer demand for printers, and the benefits of aggressive cost cutting measures. One of our Consumer Discretionary holdings, Nokian Renkaat, the Finnish manufacturer of specialist winter tires, bucked the trend in an otherwise weak sector. Other individual contributing stocks included Chunghwa Telecom (Taiwan), Gaz de France, Swiss based Nestle, and Rio Tinto.
Geographically, the United Kingdom was most additive due to a large underweight position in what was a weak market and stock out performance from our holdings there. Within a detracting Europe and Emerging Markets, we did have meaningful contributions from Switzerland, Germany, Finland, Belgium, Brazil, and Israel, respectively.
There were some significant and offsetting negatives as well. Materials, Consumer Staples, and Energy were the major sectors. We were underweight in strong performing Materials due in part to the restrictions in the Fund and this detracted. Additionally, Rhodia, the French specialty chemical company, was weak as raw material costs continued to rise faster than it was able to pass these on to its customers. A possible decline in volume growth could dramatically improve the pricing power of the company. Our overweight in what was a surprisingly weak Consumer Staples sector also reduced returns. In this sector, Carrefour, the largest position in the portfolio, suffered because of the fallout from a company conference call announcing the conversion of the stores operating under its Champion banner into Carrefour Markets. The level of synergies expected from this action will be lower than analysts’ expectations and are likely to be pushed back by a year. Energy was also a victim of our being underweight in a positive performing sector. Other disappointments included Michelin, a strong performer previously.
Geographically, underweight in stronger Japan and Australia together with our overweight in weaker France had the largest negative effect.
Outlook
Turmoil in the global financial markets continued into the second quarter, despite a brief pause after the absorption of Bear Stearns by JP Morgan Chase and an aggressive reduction in rates and liquidity injections by the U.S. Federal Reserve. Some of the risks we outlined in the last outlook have materialized, notably a persistence of credit tightness leading to more write-downs and a spillover of the financial malaise into the real economy.
A key new concern has arisen again — inflation. The Consumer Price Index is running high across the globe, with developed markets running at uncomfortably high levels and many emerging markets in double digits. Corporations had been absorbing the rises in commodity prices and holding the line on

cost and price increases. However, in the second quarter the floodgates seemed to have opened, and price rises have become commonplace. The inflation concern has added to, and refueled, existing global credit concerns. Traditionally, restrictions in credit and the ensuing decline in growth in developed economies would have been sufficient to impact oil and other commodity prices and bring them down, thereby keeping inflation under control as the Fed eased. However, a new factor has appeared — the growth of emerging markets and their voracious appetites for resources.
Despite a reduction in growth in developed economies, as well as some behavior modification resulting in energy conservation (as witnessed by the marked decrease in miles driven in the United States), oil prices continued to rise. The persistence of inflation during the quarter reached levels at which central bankers had to choose to sacrifice either growth or inflation objectives. The European Central Bank (ECB), faced with the choice, made good on its past threats and opted to fight inflation with a 25-basis point increase (0.25 percent) in short-term rates. This action came despite weakening growth, especially in southern Europe. It was clear that the ECB had seized the initiative when the Fed came out shortly thereafter and paused in its rate declines, despite very tough economic, financial, and housing markets in the United States. The markets did not take kindly to these events, and by the end of the period, the S&P 500, the MSCI EAFE Free, and the MSCI Emerging Markets indexes had recorded year-to-date falls of between 10 and 12 percent.
As demand in the corporate sector slows because of economic deceleration, companies have seen their top lines affected. Concurrently, they are facing cost pressures from rising inputs — the combined effect means lower sales with lower margins, which produces a multiplier effect to the downside.
What will alleviate the trend? If inflation has become the limiting factor to growth, we will require a decline in inflation to be able to grow. This will only be achieved, in our opinion, through the stabilization of, and even better, a decline in commodity prices. We may also have the structurally inflationary growth in the Chinese economy and in Chinese costs. In coming years, the global economy will have to absorb these costs, as well as a rise in the value of the Chinese currency. Ironically, while helping counteract Chinese inflation, such a change would possibly contribute to global inflation.
Under the current scenario it is important to invest for preservation of capital as well as gains on capital. We try to remember the Buffet phrase, “Be fearful when the market is greedy and be greedy when the market is fearful.” While the scenario is gloomy, there are some positives. First, corporate balance sheets in publicly traded companies entered the downturn with very low leverage. The number of companies truly in danger of default is small. Second, the cost of equity capital as well as debt has increased significantly — capital is scarce. This means long-term equity investors should benefit from better returns to capital.
We are seeking to invest in companies that may have better earnings visibility and non-cyclical growth prospects. We are avoiding companies that have a large need for capital. This means that in the financial sector, for example, we have favored insurance and exchanges relative to banks.

** | The Fund imposes a back-end sales charge (load) on Class B Shares if you sell your shares before a certain period of time has elasped. This is called a Contingent Deferred Sales Charge (“CDSC”). The CDSC declines over five years starting with year one and ending in year six as follows: 4%, 4%, 3%, 2%, 1%. |
Class A Shares and Class I Shares of this Fund were not in existence prior to 5/12/99 and 5/1/06, respectively. Class A Share performance and Class I Share performance calculated for any period prior to 5/12/99 and 5/1/06 are based on the performance of Class B Shares since inception of 4/1/97. The B Share Contingent Deferred Sales Charge (CDSC) does not apply to performance over 5 years; therefore, the 10-year return does not reflect the CDSC.
The total return set forth reflects certain expenses that were voluntarily reduced, reimbursed or paid by third party. In such instances, and without this activity, total return would have been lower.

Semi-annual report to shareholders
Portfolio manager’s letter
The MMA Praxis Small Cap Fund (A Shares) declined 9.37 percent versus the Russell 2000’s 9.37 percent drop during the first half of 2008. Over the past 12 months, the Russell has declined nearly 20 percent, putting it in bear market territory. While it has been a challenging environment to generate positive returns, we believe our investment strategy should have us well positioned going forward.
The economy and corporate profit growth continue to slow as de-leveraging from the Financial sector and higher energy prices continue to pressure the equity markets. In the near-term, falling consumer confidence and additional inflation concerns have trumped the aggressive monetary and fiscal policy actions taken to stimulate the economy. At this point, energy prices, which are up 70 percent from last year to all time record highs, and higher inflation expectations, are in control of the equity markets.
Energy was the big winner during the first quarter as it gained roughly 45 percent and was the only sector in the benchmark to post positive returns. Weakness was broad based as six sectors had double-digit declines. Higher energy prices continue to take away a larger percentage of consumer’s income resulting in continued weakness in the consumer related sectors.
The Fund performed in line with the benchmark during the first quarter. As a strategy diversified by both stock and sectors, it was a difficult market to add value over the benchmark given the broad based nature of the weakness. We added value with our sector allocation decisions as we were overweight in the best performing sector, Energy, and underweight in one of the weaker sectors, Financials. Stock selection detracted value as poor stock selection in both the Consumer Discretionary and Financials sectors hurt our overall results. We continue to be overweight in the Energy sector as we believe higher energy prices will result in a more positive fundamental outlook, although we wouldn’t be surprised to see a near-term pull back after the strong move over the past 12 months. We are also overweight in the Industrial sector as global growth remains key for many of our portfolio holdings. Financials and Utilities remain the sectors where we’re most underweight.
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 will continue to be beneficial for our investors. Our goal is to generate superior returns over time relative to our benchmark and to minimize the risk (volatility) of the portfolio.
The management of our investment process 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 winning investment strategy, and have us well-positioned going forward.

MMA Praxis Mutual Funds
Notes to financial statements
June 30, 2008 (Unaudited)
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”). The Trust currently consists of the MMA Praxis Intermediate Income Fund, the MMA Praxis Core Stock Fund, the MMA Praxis Value Index Fund, the MMA Praxis Growth Index Fund, the MMA Praxis International Fund and the MMA Praxis Small Cap Fund, (individually a “Fund”, collectively “the Funds”). These are also known as the Intermediate Income Fund, Core Stock Fund, Value Index Fund, Growth Index Fund, International Fund, and Small Cap Fund.
The Funds currently offer three classes of shares; Class A, Class B and Class I. Each class of shares in a 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.
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 maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against a 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:
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 fair valuing foreign securities held by the International 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 Funds’ Board of Trustees. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or are unreliable, 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 debt securities with a remaining maturity of less than 60 days are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market.
Investments in restricted securities are valued by the Board of Trustees or 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.
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement on Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” This standard establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies to fair value measurements already required or permitted by existing standards. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The changes to current generally accepted accounting principles from the application of this Statement relate to the definition of fair value, the methods used to measure fair value, and the expanded disclosures about fair value measurements.
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds investments. 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 inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For example, money market securities 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 following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Funds net assets as of June 30, 2008:

Securities Transactions and Related Income:
Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. 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. Income and realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based upon relative net assets or other appropriate basis.
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 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.
The Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized/unrealized gain (loss) from investments.
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 fiscal year end, resulting from changes in the exchange rate.
Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts:
The International Fund 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 will enter into forward contracts as a hedge against specific 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 June 30, 2008, the International Fund had the following forward foreign currency exchange contracts outstanding as follows:

Futures Contracts:
The Funds may invest in futures contracts (stock or bond index futures contracts or interest rate futures contracts) to hedge or manage risks associated with a Funds’ securities investments. To enter into a futures contract, an amount of cash and cash equivalents, equal to a certain percentage of the market
107
MMA Praxis Mutual Funds
Notes to financial statements, continued

value of the futures contracts, is deposited in a segregated account with the Fund’s Custodian and/or in a margin account with a broker to collateralize the position and thereby ensure that the use of such futures is unleveraged. Positions in futures contracts may be closed out only on an exchange that provides a secondary market for such futures. However, there can be no assurance that a liquid secondary market will exist for any particular futures contract at any specific time. Thus, it may not be possible to close a futures position. In the event of adverse price movements, a Fund would continue to be required to make daily cash payments to maintain its required margin. In such situations, if a Fund had insufficient cash, it might have to sell portfolio securities to meet daily margin requirements at a time when it would be disadvantageous to do so. In addition, a Fund might be required to make delivery of the instruments to underlying futures contracts it holds. The inability to close the futures position also could have an adverse impact on a Fund’s ability to hedge or manage risks effectively.
Successful use of futures by a Fund is also subject to MMA Capital Management’s (the “Adviser”) ability to predict movements correctly in the direction of the market. There is an imperfect correlation between movements in the price of the future and movements in the price of the securities that are the subject of the hedge. In addition, the price of futures may not correlate perfectly with movement in the cash market due to certain market distortions. Due to the possibility of price distortion in the futures market and because of the imperfect correlation between the movements in the cash market and movements in the price of futures, a correct forecast of general market trends or interest rate movements by the Adviser may still not result in a successful hedging transaction over a short time frame.
Most futures exchanges limit the amount of fluctuation permitted in futures contract prices during a single trading day. The daily limit establishes the maximum amount that the price of a futures contract may vary either up or down from the previous day’s settlement price at the end of a trading session. Once the daily limit has been reached in a particular type of contract, no trades may be made on that day at a price beyond the limit. The daily limit governs only price movement during a particular trading day and therefore does not limit potential losses, because the limit may prevent the liquidation of unfavorable positions. Futures contract prices have occasionally moved to the daily limit for several consecutive trading days with little or no trading, thereby preventing prompt liquidation of futures positions and subjecting some futures to substantial losses.
The trading of futures contracts is also subject to the risk of trading halts, suspensions, exchange or clearing house equipment failures, government intervention, insolvency of a brokerage firm or clearing house or other disruptions of normal trading activity, which could at times make it difficult or impossible to liquidate existing positions or to recover excess variation margin payments.
Swap Agreements:
The Funds may enter into event-linked swaps, including credit default swaps. The credit default swap market allows a Fund to manage credit risk through buying and selling credit protection on specific names or a basket of names. The transactions are documented through swap documents. A “buyer” of credit protection agrees to pay a premium to a counterparty to assume the credit risk of an issuer upon the occurrence of certain events. The “seller” of credit protection receives a premium from a counterparty and agrees to assume the credit risk of an issuer upon the occurrence of certain events.
Securities Lending:
In order to generate additional income, each Fund may, from time to time, subject to its investment objectives and policies, lend its portfolio securities to broker-dealers, banks, or institutional borrowers of securities pursuant to agreements requiring that the loans be secured by collateral equal in value to 100% of the value of the securities loaned. Collateral for loans of portfolio securities must consist of: (1) cash in U.S. dollars, to be invested in the Northern Institutional Liquid Asset Portfolio, (2) obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury or by any agency or instrumentality of the U.S. Government, or (3) irrevocable, non-transferable, stand-by letters of credit issued by banks domiciled or doing business within the U.S. and meeting certain credit requirements at the time of issuance. This collateral will be
108
MMA Praxis Mutual Funds
Notes to financial statements, continued

valued daily by the Adviser. Should the market value of the loaned securities increase, the borrower is required to furnish additional collateral to that Fund.
During the time portfolio securities are on loan, the borrower pays the Fund any dividends or interest received on such securities. Loans are subject to termination by the Fund or the borrower at any time. While the Fund does not have a right to vote on securities on loan, each Fund intends to terminate the loan and regain the right to vote if that is considered important with respect to the investment. While the lending of securities may subject a Fund to certain risks, such as delays or an inability to regain the securities in the event the borrower were to default or enter into bankruptcy, each Fund will have the contract right to retain the collateral described above.
The Northern Trust Company serves as the Securities Lending Agent. For providing this service, the Securities Lending Agent retains 40% of the securities lending income. The securities lending income is shown net of fees on the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Funds had securities on loan as follows:

Community Development Investments:
Consistent with the investment criteria for socially responsible investing, the Board of Trustees of the Funds 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 MMA Capital Management (the “Adviser”), MMA Community Development Investments, Inc. (“MMA CDI”). MMA CDI 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% 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. Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid semi-annually for the Core Stock Fund, the Value Index Fund, the Growth Index Fund, the International Fund, and the Small Cap Fund. Distributable net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually.
109
MMA Praxis Mutual Funds
Notes to financial statements, continued
June 30, 2008 (Unaudited)
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 policy to continue 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 Fund will file for claims on foreign taxes withheld.
Other:
Expenses that are directly related to a Fund are charged directly to that Fund. Other operating expenses of the Trust are prorated to each Fund on the basis of relative net assets to the Trust or another reasonable basis. Expenses specific to a class can be charged directly to that class.
The Funds will charge a redemption fee of 2.00% of the total redemption amount if you sell or exchange your shares after holding them for less than 30 days subject to certain exceptions and limitations described in the 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 six months ended June 30, 2008 were as follows:

4. Related Party Transactions:
Menno Insurance Service, Inc. d/b/a MMA Capital Management, (the “Adviser”) (a separate corporate entity controlled by Mennonite Mutual Aid, Inc.), provides investment advisory services to the Funds. 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 each of the Funds as follows: 0.40% for the Intermediate Income Fund; 0.74% for the Core Stock Fund; 0.30% for the Value Index Fund; 0.30% for the Growth Index Fund; 0.90% for the International Fund and 0.85% for the Small Cap Fund.

On July 13, 2006, the FASB released FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (FIN 48). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Funds’ tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Adoption of FIN 48 was required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and was to be applied to all open tax years as of the effective date. The Funds have analyzed their tax positions taken on Federal income tax returns for all open tax years (tax years ended December 31, 2004 through 2007) for purposes of implementing FIN 48 and have concluded that no provision for income tax is required in their financial statements.

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% 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% hypothetical example with the 5% 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.
