Message from the President
Dear MMA Praxis Shareholder:
The year 2008 was an unprecedented one for investors in the market, and the first six months of 2009 have been a challenging time as well. Although the equities markets have turned positive for the six-month period, this remains a time of uncertainty and volatility. With continued uncertainty as to when an economic recovery will occur, volatility may well continue for some time to come.
During the first six months, domestic equities, as measured by the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index rose by 3.19 percent. The MMA Core Stock Fund Class A share (NAV) outperformed its benchmark and was up 3.75 percent. Over the same period, the Class A Share (NAV) of the Value Index Fund fell by 0.52 percent, but outperformed its benchmark, the MSCI US Prime Market Value Index, which fell 2.49 percent. The Class A Share (NAV) of the Growth Index Fund rose by 10.46 percent, and its benchmark, the MSCI US Prime Market Growth Index, rose 10.74 percent. The Class A Share (NAV) of the Small Cap Fund rose by 8.25 percent and outperformed its benchmark, the Russell 2000 Index, which rose 2.64 percent. While we are pleased to see returns in positive territory, we recognize that there is still a long way to go for the market to reach its historic highs.
The international equity benchmark MSCI EAFE Index was up 7.95 percent for the six-month period ending June 30, 2009. The MMA Praxis International Class A Share (NAV) underperformed its benchmark over the same period, declining 4.41 percent.
Coming off of strong performance in 2008, the MMA Praxis Intermediate Income Fund continues to provide positive returns for the six month period. The Class A Share (NAV) posted a gain of 5.08 percent for the period ending June 30, 2009, with 3-year annualized returns of 6.28 percent and 5-year annualized returns of 4.65 percent. This fund’s benchmark, Barclay’s Capital US Aggregate Bond Index returned 5.02 percent over the same five-year period.
As shareholders of Class B shares of MMA Praxis have been informed, the Class B shares are being closed as of Aug. 14, 2009. Funds in the B shares will be automatically converted to Class A shares of the corresponding fund.
MMA Praxis remains committed to fulfill its mission as a faith-based mutual fund by being actively engaged in shareholder advocacy and community development investing (CDI). While nearly all equities fell last year, MMA Praxis continued working for the greater good. CDI and other stewardship investing initiatives continued in spite of the market decline. One CDI partner, HOPE Community Credit Union, based in Jackson, Miss., serves low-income people in a four-state region. HOPE has generated over $1 billion in financing for economic growth and opportunity for over 40,000 people that would have struggled to receive help from traditional banking. This is just one of many stories of how investments in underserved communities are building a better world in spite of the market’s volatility. Without your investments in MMA Praxis, we would not be able to participate in this way.
Additionally, you likely have heard about the ground-breaking shareholder advocacy work that MMA has led related to predatory practices in the credit card industry. Many national news sources have documented our involvement. You can find some of this coverage by going to www.mmapraxis.com and to the “In the media” section. MMA Praxis is making a difference on many fronts.
In the following pages, you will find portfolio managers’ letters and performance review for each of the funds. Please read these reports for in-depth explanations and observations.
Thank you for being an investor with MMA Praxis Mutual Funds. We know money invested with MMA Praxis is being set aside for retirement, educational pursuits, and other goals important to you. Our commitment is to be good stewards of these resources and fulfill our mission as a faith-based mutual fund. We are deeply appreciative of your confidence in placing these important resources in our care.
Sincerely,
David C. Gautsche
President

MMA Praxis Stewardship Investing Report
The Economics of Hope—part 2
“Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.” (Matthew 5:5)
No one has ever claimed the Beatitudes as a functional economic model. These passages do, however, raise hallmarks of “right societies” that bear further reflection. In the MMA Praxis Mutual Funds Annual Report for the year ended Dec. 31, 2008, I wrote about the challenge and need for our nation to relearn the “economics of hope”; to understand that for this wonderful, demented, intricate global economy to work - -- truly work -- then hope for a better life must exist on every level of society.
Now, more than six months later, there are small signs the economy – at least as defined on Wall Street – is thinking of recovery. The situation on Main Street, however, remains troubling with national unemployment continuing to increase. Pundit discussions of another “jobless recovery,” with unemployment at current levels, suggest the lessons of the past two years may not have been fully learned. With credit card defaults continuing to climb, credit for small – even successful -- small businesses difficult to secure, and unemployment benefits expiring, the noose continues to tighten on the consumer economy. Life remains hard – and continues to get harder – for tens of millions of Americans and others around the world.
While the rise of the markets may buoy the hopeful spirits of those invested in pensions, mutual funds, and 401(k) plans, we believe it will be the ability to (quickly) translate that spirit into a hope-filled reality for those at the middle and bottom of the economic pyramid that demonstrates the depth and sustainability of the recovery. This situation continues to underscore the important role people of faith play in connecting long-term investment perspectives with financial practices and policies that offer opportunity and hope for all.
A proxy season to remember
Fear, anger, confusion, mistrust were all themes evident in the 2008-2009 shareholder proxy season. It was largely defined by investor reaction to the chaos in the financial system and greater economy. For the first time ever, a CEO, Bank of America’s Ken Lewis, was forcibly separated from the chairman’s role through a binding shareholder resolution.1 (MMA Praxis generally supports the separation of CEO and chair roles and voted in favor of this resolution.)
Corporate practices ranging from executive compensation to the selection of corporate directors came under fire from shareholders. Through its votes, MMA Praxis supported shareholder measures to promote corporate governance reform. Overall, MMA Praxis voted on more than 6,000 corporate resolutions during 543 company meetings. MMA Praxis voted against corporate management’s recommendation 1,176 times, or 19 percent of the time, a relatively high percentage. And while social resolutions did not garner the same amount of support as those focused on corporate governance issues, they still played an important role in shaping the proxy season.
During this proxy season, MMA Praxis voted in support of three resolutions seeking to limit predatory credit card practices, six resolutions increasing disclosure of greenhouse gas emissions, eight resolutions promoting comprehensive sustainability reporting and 13 resolutions promoting human rights under International Labor Organization standards. In addition, MMA Praxis voted for 64 resolutions seeking a shareholder “say-on-pay,” 29 resolutions seeking the separation of chair and CEO positions, and voted against/withheld votes from 597 board candidates.

Investing in the future
The charge to care for God’s creation and leave a better world for future generations is a responsibility we all carry. The MMA Praxis Intermediate Income Fund is putting this stewardship investing value into practice with investments in bond issues that help finance major wind and solar energy projects.
The Biglow Canyon Wind Farm in Sherman County, Ore., is a project of Portland General Electric Company (PGE) that will include 217 wind turbines when it is complete; 76 turbines are already running and generating electricity. Bonds supporting a solar wind farm in the Mojave Desert in California, operated by FPL Energy/Caithness Funding Corporation, were used to fund construction of two 80-megawatt solar electricity generating stations. Combined, these investments are valued at about $1.2 million.
Driving change
While the Toyota Car Company is a long-time leader in the development and promotion of environmental technology, this doesn’t ensure all of the company’s practices align with MMA’s stewardship investing core values. In February, MMA Praxis joined with shareholder members of the Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility (ICCR) to discuss human rights with Toyota. A report last summer detailed human rights abuses by Toyota and its parts suppliers that included allegations of forced 80-hour work weeks, human trafficking, brutal working conditions and more. During a dialogue with Toyota management, MMA Praxis and other concerned shareholders recommended that the company use third-party auditors to monitor and enforce fair working conditions for employees and others in their supply chain. In September, the shareholders will meet to discuss progress and the need for any further action. The effort with Toyota is especially important because of its size and influence on other companies in its industry.
Letting kids be kids
Every day, tens of millions of children are forced – by outright coercion or economic desperation – to work to help their families survive. MMA believes that putting a limit on the health and potential of future generations is not what God wants for us.
MMA Praxis joined a letter-writing campaign to 113 companies who use cotton from Uzbekistan asked the firms to pressure the Uzbek government to rid the industry of forced child labor. The evidence appears clear: the Uzbek government is complicit in human rights abuses involving children – going as far as closing schools to force children to pick cotton. This most valuable export ends up on the shelves of clothing stores all over the world. The letter campaign produced 28 responses, which is a start to investor dialogue. A second round of letters is currently under way.
Predatory credit card resolutions draw big votes
Following more than two years worth of work, MMA Praxis led an interfaith shareholder coalition focused on predatory credit card practices at seven companies representing nearly 85 percent of the nation’s credit card business. MMA Praxis filed resolutions at American Express and JP Morgan Chase and co-filed resolutions at Citigroup, Bank of America, Discover, and Wells Fargo. The purpose of these resolutions was to encourage the companies to adopt better credit card policies that help – rather than hurt – consumers, as well as increase the companies’ financial sustainability. Three resolutions went to ballot garnering an 8.5 percent vote at JP Morgan Chase, 33.4 percent at Bank of America, and 28.4 percent at Citigroup. These are all strong, first year votes - -- particularly for a socially-based resolution -- and set the stage for dialogues in the coming year focused on the implementation of new federal regulatory and legislative mandates related to these concerns.

Community development investing: generating social and financial returns
MMA Praxis Mutual Funds’ commitment to including up to 3% of each Fund’s net assets in community development investments, served to be a bright spot, both socially and financially, in many of the Praxis Funds. While successfully returning more than $2.1 million to MMA Praxis due to market declines and rebalancing, MMA community development investments (MMA CDI) continues to channel nearly $8 million to disadvantaged communities for the MMA Praxis Mutual Funds. These investments, now more than ever, are needed to help ensure that capable businesses and individuals from disadvantaged communities are not shut out of the rapidly constricting, highly risk-averse credit markets. While clearly feeling the impact of the economic downturn, most community development financial institutions continue to weather this storm through internal cost-savings, working closely with their borrowers and carefully leveraging investments like those from MMA CDI.
The organizations benefiting from MMA Praxis’s commitment to community development investing, through MMA CDI, include:
Mercy Housing serves more than 117,000 people every day -- including families, seniors, and people with special needs, and children -- who need a dependable place to call home. They are directly addressing the fallout from the recession by increasing access to safe, stable, affordable housing.
Southern Bancorp, the largest community development financial institutions fund (CDFI) serving the Mississippi Delta, is no stranger to economic hardship, helps thousands of people face life’s daily challenges. Through investments in charter schools, education, health and training programs, Southern Bancorp is helping those on margins with the vital and lengthy process of building lasting wealth and confidence in the future.

MMA Praxis Intermediate Income Fund
Annual report to shareholders
Portfolio managers’ letter
After a shaky start to the year, the fixed markets began a steady recovery that accelerated in the second quarter. The MMA Praxis Intermediate Income Fund did exceptionally well with a 5.08 percent net return (Class A Shares). This was 3.18 percent better than the Barclays Aggregate Index, the Fund’s benchmark, which was up 1.9 percent.
The big driver of the outperformance was the very strong recovery of credit-related bonds. Corporate bonds, which now make up approximately 40 percent of the portfolio, had an 8.32 percent return while Commercial Mortgage Backed Securities (CMBS) were up 10.36 percent. CMBS makes up roughly 10 percent of the Fund’s assets.
Another positive for the Fund was the absence of U.S. Treasury bonds, which were down 4.3 percent. Treasuries were hurt by rising rates, which drive down the price of fixed income securities. For example, the 10-year Treasury note began the year at 2.25 percent and finished midyear at 3.52 percent. The magnitude of the poor performance was very important. Agencies, which were the next weakest sector, were only down .04 percent. All other sectors had positive returns.
Credit-related bonds did well as panic subsided and the attraction of double-digit interest rates for high-quality corporate and CMBS bonds began to attract buyers early in the year. Once the stock market bottomed in early March, investor’s interest in credit-related bonds rebounded, which added to the rally. By the end of June, the market was getting back to more normal levels for a recessionary time period.
Outlook
We expect the second half of 2009 to confirm expectations that the worst of the recession is over and a gradual recovery has begun. Unlike most post-World War II economic recoveries, we expect this one to be long and drawn out. The main reasons for this are the continued problems in housing with depressed demand for new homes, a huge glut of inventories that are often foreclosure-related, and a lack of available financing for many consumers and businesses. We expect the dearth of credit availability to keep consumer savings rates high, which will limit the potential for recovery.
Federal Reserve policy will remain easy with very low interest rates for short maturity securities. Despite the large federal deficit we expect interest rates on Treasury bonds to remain low. This is largely a function of very low inflation rates with extremely large amounts of excess capacity. Further, the savings rate is rising, which may be adequate to fund the government’s borrowing until the economy rebounds.
With recessionary conditions continuing we expect defaults to remain high, which should limit the room for a further rally in lower quality bonds. As a result, we plan to continue to focus on credit-related issues, and we will stay with higher-quality securities unless – or until – there is a correction that creates better opportunities.

MMA Praxis Core Stock Fund
Annual report to shareholders
Portfolio managers’ letter
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2009, the Class A Shares of MMA Praxis Core Stock Fund returned 3.75 percent, outperforming its benchmark, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (Index), which returned 3.16 percent.
Factors affecting the Fund’s performance
The sectors within the S&P 500 Index that turned in the strongest performance over the six-month period were information technology, materials, and consumer discretionary. The sectors that turned in the weakest performance over the six-month period were Industrials, telecommunication Services, and Financials.
Consumer Staple companies were the most important detractors from performance. The Fund’s Consumer Staple companies underperformed the corresponding sector within the Index (down 10 percent versus down 2 percent for the Index). Fund holdings Costco and Procter & Gamble were among the most important detractors from performance.
Information Technology companies were the most important contributors to the Index, and they were also the most important contributors to the Fund. A lower relative average weighting in this strongly performing sector (10 percent versus 17 percent for the Index) was the most important detractor from relative performance. Texas Instruments, Microsoft, and Google were among the most important contributors to performance.
Health Care companies made important contributions to performance. The Fund’s Health Care companies outperformed the corresponding sector within the Index (up 16 percent versus roughly flat for the Index). Fund holding Schering Plough was among the most important contributors to performance.
The Fund’s investment in Industrial companies was the most important contributor to relative performance. While the Index’s industrial companies lost 6 percent, the Fund’s industrial companies gained 20 percent.
Individual companies (and fund holdings) making important contributions to performance included two Financial companies, Julius Baer and American Express, and an energy company, Canadian Natural Resources. Individual companies (and fund holdings) that were among the most important detractors from performance were two financial companies (and fund holdings), Wells Fargo and Berkshire Hathaway, and two energy companies, ConocoPhillips and Devon Energy.
The Fund held approximately 11 percent of assets in foreign companies (including American Depositary Receipts) at June 30, 2009. As a whole these companies outperformed the domestic companies held by 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.
* | Reflects maximum front-end sales charge of 5.25%. |
** | Assumes redemption at the end of the stated period. 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 Share and Class I Share 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 Share 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.

Annual report to shareholders
Portfolio manager’s letter
What a difference a few months makes. In January, we wrote about how nearly all stocks, regardless of the financial strength of the company, declined in the midst of a massive market sell-off during the second half of 2008. A credit-induced financial crisis quickly morphed into a full-blown recession complete with declining economic activity and quickly rising unemployment. The market malaise continued until early March of this year when, at a point when prospects seemed most dim, equity markets began to surge higher.
The second quarter saw an equal opportunity equity rally with the growth style and value style indexes rising in tandem. For the full first half of the year, however, the growth style handily beat out the value style among large and medium capitalization stocks.
Despite the strong rally during the March to May period, the Fund’s A shares declined 0.52 percent during the first half of the year, outperforming the MSCI US Prime Market Value Index, which declined 2.49 percent.
The Fund’s overweight position in several financial industries and underweight to the energy sector contributed to its outperformance during the period. Despite the continuing challenges in the global financial system, many financial stocks recovered during the period, even though many remain at prices significantly below where they were a year ago. Energy stocks, which generally held up somewhat better last year, did not recover nearly as dramatically as other parts of the market during the first half of 2009. Both of these phenomena contributed to the positive relative performance of 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.

** | Assumes redemption at the end of the stated period. 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 I Share of this Fund was not in existence prior to 5/1/06. Class I Share performance calculated for any period prior to 5/1/06 is based on the performance of Class B Share since inception of 5/1/01.
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.

Class I Shares of this Fund were not in existence prior to 5/1/06. Class I Share performance calculated for any period prior to 5/1/06 is based on the performance of Class B Shares since inception of 5/1/01. The B Share Contingent Deferred Sales Charge (CDSC) does not apply to performance over 5 years; therefore, the Since Inception return does not reflect the CDSC. DSC.

Annual report to shareholders
Portfolio manager’s letter
What a difference a few months makes. In January, we wrote about how nearly all stocks, regardless of the financial strength of the company, declined in the midst of a massive market sell-off during the second half of 2008. A credit-induced financial crisis quickly morphed into a full-blown recession complete with declining economic activity and quickly rising unemployment. The market malaise continued until early March of this year when, at a point when prospects seemed most dim, equity markets began to surge higher.
The second quarter saw an equal opportunity equity rally with the growth style and value style indexes rising in tandem. For the first half of the year, however, the growth style handily beat out the value style among large and medium capitalization stocks.
The Fund rode the wave, buoying growth style investing during the first half of the year. The Fund’s A shares rose 10.46 percent and were slightly outpaced by the Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI Prime Market Growth Index, up 10.74 percent.
Since there is minimal variance in the sector weights of the Fund relative to its benchmark, the tight performance gap is typical. While some industries (computer software and machinery) contributed to relative performance, others (oil services and retail clothing) detracted. In total, the positives and negatives netted out to a return that closely tracked the benchmark return.

Strategy
The half year in global equity markets was a period of extreme contrasts. January and February saw an extension of the very bear markets of 2008, and the MSCI EAFE Index, a commonly used international developed market benchmark, fell by more than 25 percent in that early period. But in early March, we experienced a stark reversal of that trend with global equity markets, in general, rising sharply from their troughs in a rally that continued virtually unchecked until the end of May. In that period, the MSCI EAFE Index rose by almost 50 percent. This was largely a momentum rally, driven by a variety of factors among which were a rush by hedge funds and other investors to cover their short positions in lower quality stocks that had suffered in the earlier market downturn, sudden change in investor risk attitude and, in the latter stages, the move by asset allocators to switch from low-yielding cash and similar instruments back into equities to attempt to capture some of the potentially higher returns that rising equity markets may generate. June saw a mild reversal of the trend with the EAFE index producing a small negative return for the month
During the course of 2008 and in the first quarter of 2009, we had maintained an emphasis on preservation of capital and risk control in both our stock selection and in the sector diversification across the portfolio. This stance reflected a combination of the effects of the global banking crisis and resulting economic deterioration, as well as the increased pressure on corporate earnings from both a visibility and forecasting perspective. Our portfolios were heavily weighted to companies with lower leverage, stronger balance sheets, and greater identifiable free cash flows. These could be regarded as the more defensive and higher-quality elements of the market.
As market recoveries continued in the second quarter and some more promising news emerged, we began to gradually and selectively make changes to the portfolio. Our focus was toward companies we believe are likely to be the early beneficiaries from the mild level of medium-term improvement we believe is possible later in 2009 and through 2010. This included increasing exposure to some European and Japanese banks that had stronger balance sheets and were more likely to emerge from the crisis as much stronger franchises capable of winning market share. In Industrials we added to some companies in Germany and Japan that we believed would be likely early beneficiaries from increased global activity and demand. In Consumer Discretionary, we added to our exposure through our high-quality automobile holdings, which had suffered from a collapse in auto orders but have the potential to recover as the consumers ultimately move to replace aging auto car fleets. These moves were funded in part by reductions and eliminations to some of the more defensive positions that we had built in Telecommunication Services, Consumer Staples and Health Care. Geographically, these moves resulted in increases in Japan and the United Kingdom with the largest reduction in Europe, principally Switzerland.
Performance
Over the first half of the year, the portfolio lagged the return on the MSCI EAFE Index. This was due primarily to the position we had taken during the course of 2008 and early 2009, where we placed major emphasis on the preservation of capital and owning higher quality companies in an equity market environment suffering from the strains of the financial markets collapse, and the resultant fallout on other sectors and individual companies. We had seen many false and short-lived market rallies during the market downturn, and when the most recent upturn started in early March, we were not positioned to benefit from what we regarded as a momentum rally driven by poorer quality stocks. Thus, the portfolio underperformed the strong market rise.
50
As we had placed emphasis on quality of holdings and visibility of earnings consistently across the portfolio, the underperformance in the first half of the year was experienced across virtually all sectors and regions of the portfolio, the only exceptions being Utilities, Information Technology, and Emerging Markets respectively. Utilities’s contribution stemmed from the minimal exposure to what was the weakest sector in the quarter, while our Emerging Markets return exceeded the return on the MSCI EAFE index. There were some positive individual stock contributions that stemmed from either stock specific industry issues or factors. Among these were Baidu, Inc., the Chinese search engine operator that benefitted from improved Web search data and increased Web traffic, Experian plc, the U.K.-based consumer database operator that benefitted from increased demand for its services, and three stock exchanges, Hellenic Exchanges S.A., Deutsche Boerse AG, and ASX Ltd., each with strong balance sheets and high cash levels. We believe that these three are likely to benefit from increased investor transactions and, in the case of Deutsche Boerse, a likely major beneficiary from any regulatory changes designed to force derivatives to being exchange traded. The modest exposure to Emerging Markets proved positive as they collectively recovered more sharply than their developed market counterparts.
Outlook
We are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel but our volatile journey is not yet at an end. We are seeing signs of repair, but, in the short term, there are still meaningful concerns that will continue to impact corporate health throughout the world.
The first concern is corporate earnings, which we fully expect will remain depressed as second quarter 2009 results are released. Earnings expectations have been adjusted downward by analysts, but short-term valuation support is more tenuous given the March/April/May rally. We believe one of the most important factors in equity performance for the upcoming quarter will be the outlook that companies provide to investors during their second quarter results presentations.
A second concern is related to the evolution of unemployment and sovereign risks. We are surprised at the extreme divergence of labor adjustments in European markets.
While countries like Spain and Ireland have already suffered increased unemployment rates from their cyclical trough, countries like Germany and the Netherlands have seen minimal increases. These economies tend to be more resilient to economic cycles and were not built on the sands of a real estate bubble, but they will undoubtedly not be immune to the current cyclical decline. In past economic cycles, German employment levels declined from 2 to 4 percent, so we expect further increases in unemployment despite the dampening effects of temporary labor that is often used today. We therefore expect significant increases in unemployment indicators in Europe.
Overall, we are noting widespread upticks in industrial production and exports, which should soon feed into Gross Domestic Product performance.
Regarding the very strong rally that the market experienced in mid-March,April, and May, we identified three phases to the market action.
The first phase largely consisted of short covering and a rally in low-quality companies. Generally, the lower the quality the more the company’s share price increased. Indeed, some very sound companies actually went down in price. During this phase, we experienced a market in which fundamental stock selection was not rewarded. But, remember, that earlier in the crisis, we had several low-quality rallies, all of which failed, with some low-quality companies going bust or near bust.
During this first phase the fund underperformed quite sharply, as our quality bias detracted in the short term. Almost 90 percent of our underperformance can be attributed to the period from March 9 to the end of April, when we entered a very anomalous market. While more pronounced than usual, we believe this phase of the cycle is now over.
51
The second phase consisted of a liquidity rally that was driven primarily by asset allocation decisions. Investors started to move into equities, given perceived low risks and very poor returns on sovereign debt instruments. This rally took place in May and spread to some better quality issues.
The third phase is current and consists of a market consolidation and a move into higher- quality stocks. We believe that this will be the phase in which fundamental stock selection re-asserts itself and expect this will be a much better environment to reward our disciplined investment process. We expect this phase to be longer than the earlier two phases described above.
We have found some interesting values in the stock exchanges, recruiting companies, auto companies, and capital investment-related companies, which use funds to acquire or upgrade physical assets such as property, industrial buildings or equipment. It is important to note that the rally has been very strong and left the market risk/reward equation finely balanced. Quality tends to reassert itself gradually and we do not expect a repeat of the low-quality rally we saw earlier this year. We do expect long-term outperformance of these quality companies but will undoubtedly need to have patience to endure continued volatility in the behavior and performance of equity markets.

** | Assumes redemption at the end of the stated period. 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 Share and Class I Share 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 Share 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.

MMA Praxis Small Cap Fund
Annual report to shareholders
Portfolio managers’ letter
The MMA Praxis Small Cap Fund (A shares) gained 8.25 percent vs. the Russell 2000’s 2.64 percent increase during the first half of 2009. The stock market’s recovery since March is one of the biggest four-month advances in history and the 20 percent plus second quarter return was the best quarterly return since 2003.
While the economy remains mired in recession, we are beginning to see a sequential flattening in many economic data series. This basing is an important step to an eventual economic recovery. We believe the economy will begin growing again, albeit from a lower level, in the second half of 2009 or the first half of 2010. In our opinion, while there are many long-term challenges to consider such as growing government debt, potential inflation, interest rates, etc., the near-term positives, which include monetary and fiscal stimulus and pent up demand and inventory replenishment could boost the economy going forward. In addition, declining credit spreads, improved confidence and a return of capital to the stock market, could result in continued market gains.
The Russell 2000’s strong performance since March was driven by what we consider a classic, off the bottom, low-quality rally. Unprofitable companies and those with low financial returns were the big winners during this period. In addition, the smallest companies and those trading below $10 per share also outperformed. All sectors were positive led by Energy, Consumer Discretionary, and Technology while the Utilities and Financials sectors lagged.
We are pleased with our overall performance given our investment in high quality companies. The Fund benefited from both stock selection and sector allocation decisions. Being overweight in the Consumer Discretionary sector, one of the best performing sectors, and our underweight position in Financials, one of the worst performing sectors, added to our overall performance. Stock selection, especially in the Energy sector, added to our outperformance. We continue to have the strategy tilted to slightly larger companies, ones with strong internal growth prospects, and in areas that we believe will benefit from an economic recovery.
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.

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.
As of June 30, 2009, the Funds 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. Effective August 14, 2009, outstanding Class B shares will be converted to Class A Shares, and Class B Shares will no longer be offered.
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 value.

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.
The Funds have adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) 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. 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 in accordance with SFAS No. 157, 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 aggregate value by input level, as of June 30, 2009, for each Fund’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 Schedule of Portfolio Investments, which also includes a breakdown of the Fund’s investments by geographic/industry concentration.

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.
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 are allocated proportionally among all Funds daily in relation to net assets of each Fund or another reasonable measure.
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 the reporting period, resulting from changes in the exchange rate.

Community Development Investments:
The Board of Trustees of the MMA Praxis Mutual 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 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 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.
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.

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.
Redemption In-Kind:
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, the MMA Praxis Core Stock Fund and MMA Praxis International Fund delivered certain portfolio securities as payment for Fund shares redeemed. This transaction resulted in realized capital gains of $1,650,259 and $154,836, respectively, none of which were taxable to the Fund, nor resulted in increased capital gain distributions to existing shareholders of the Fund.
Recent accounting pronouncements
In June 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles – a replacement of FASB Statement No 162” (“SFAS 168”). SFAS 168 replaces SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” and establishes the “FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM” (“Codification”) as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. All guidance contained in the Codification carries an equal level of authority. On the effective date of SFAS 168, the Codification will supersede all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other nongrandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification will become nonauthoritative. SFAS 168 is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Funds evaluated this new statement, and have determined that it will not have a significant impact on the determination or reporting of the Funds’ financial statements.
3. Derivative Financial Instruments:
A derivative financial instrument in very general terms refers to a security 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 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 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, 2009, 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 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.
The Trust adopted FASB Standard No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“SFAS 161”), effective January 1, 2009. SFAS 161 is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand how and why the Trust uses derivative instruments, how these derivative instruments are accounted for and their effects on a Fund’s financial position and results of operations.
The following table sets forth the fair value of the Trust’s derivative contracts by primary risk exposure as of June 30, 2009:

For the period May 1, 2008 through April 30, 2009, the Adviser entered into a contractual expense limitation agreement pursuant to which the Adviser 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, fees paid to vendors providing fair value pricing and fund compliance services, legal fees, costs relating to such services and extraordinary expenses). The Funds have agreed to repay the Adviser for the amounts waived and/or reimbursed by the Adviser pursuant to the expense limitation agreement, for up to three years following the fiscal year in which the amounts were waived and/or reimbursed. The contractual expense limits in place for the period May 1, 2008 through April 30, 2009 were:
Fund | Class A | Class B | Class I |
Intermediate Income Fund | 0.85% | 1.30% | 0.60% |
Core Stock Fund | 1.43% | 2.08% | 1.18% |

International Fund | 1.67% | 2.32% | 1.42% |
Small Cap Fund | 1.45% | 2.10% | 1.20% |
Effective May 1, 2009, the Adviser has entered into a contractual expense limitation agreement similar to the agreement described above which also excludes Trustee fees from the expense limit. This agreement is in place for the following Funds and Share Classes listed below through April 30, 2010:
Fund | Class A | Class B |
Intermediate Income Fund | 0.90% | 1.45% |
Growth Index Fund | 1.04% | 1.84% |
Small Cap Fund | 1.65% | 2.55% |

The Trust has adopted a Plan of Distribution (12b-1 plan) for each Fund under which each 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 to pay a 12b-1 fee of up to 0.50% of the average daily net assets of the applicable Fund. The Distributor may use up to 0.25% of the 12b-1 fee for shareholder servicing and up to 0.25% for distribution. Currently, the Distributor is voluntarily waiving 0.25% of the 12b-1 fee. Class B Shares of each Fund may pay a 12b-1 fee of up to 1.00% of the average daily net assets of the applicable Fund. This will cause expenses for Class B Shares to be higher and dividends to be lower than for Class A Shares. The Distributor may use up to 0.25% of the 12b-1 fee for shareholder servicing and up to 0.75% for distribution. Currently, the Distributor is voluntarily waiving the following percentages of the 12b-1 fees for Class B Shares: 0.10% for the MMA Praxis Core Stock, International and Small Cap Funds; and 0.20% for the MMA Praxis Value Index, Growth Index and Intermediate Income Funds.
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 Funds’ Compliance Program, providing the Chief Compliance Officer and providing the Chief Financial Officer. For these services, Beacon Hill receives a monthly fee from each Fund.
Under the terms of the Compliance Services Agreement between the Trust and JPMorgan, JPMorgan provides certain compliance services to the Trust, including developing and assisting in implementing a compliance program for JPMorgan on behalf of the Trust and providing administrative support services to the Funds’ Compliance Program and Chief Compliance Officer. JPMorgan receives a quarterly fee from each 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 Funds for serving as officers of the Trust.

During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Intermediate Income Fund had $125,672 of capital loss carryforwards expire unutilized.
Certain reclassifications, the result of permanent differences between financial statement and income tax reporting requirements, have been made to the components of capital. These permanent differences are primarily the result of in-kind redemptions, distributions in excess of net investment income, foreign currency, paydowns, expiration of capital loss carryforwards, REIT and PFIC reclassifications. These reclassifications have no impact on the net assets or net asset value per share of the Funds and are designed to present each Fund's capital accounts on a tax basis. The following reclassifications have been made to the following Funds for the year ended December 31, 2008:

The Funds have adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) 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. The Funds have analyzed their tax positions taken on Federal income tax returns for all open tax years (tax years ended December 31, 2005 through 2008) for purposes of implementing FIN 48 and have concluded that no provision for income tax is required in their financial statements.

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 January 1, 2009 through June 30, 2009.
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% 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.
