The Morgan Stanley Capital Index-Europe, Australia and the Far East Index (MSCI-EAFE) is an unmanaged Morgan Stanley Capital International Index that is designed to measure the performance of the developed stock markets of Europe, Australia and the Far East. Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index (the "S&P 500 Index") is a widely recognized index of 500 selected common stocks, most of which are listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Standard & Poor's 500/Barra Value Index (the "S&P 500/Barra Value Index") is constructed by dividing the stocks in the S&P 500 Index into two categories, growth and value, according to price-to-book ratios. The MSCI AC World Free-(ex. U.S.) Index is a widely recognized, unmanaged index composed of a sample of companies representative of the markets of both developed and emerging markets throughout the world, excluding the United States. Gross Domestic Product (the "GDP") is the measure of the market value of the goods and services produced by labor and property in the United States. Consumer Price Index (the "CPI") is an index of prices used to measure the change in the cost of basic goods and services in comparison with a fixed base period. Price-to-Earnings Ratio (the "P/E Ratio") is a valuation ratio of a company's current share price compared to its per-share earnings. The Lipper Intermediate Investment Grade Debt Funds Category consists of mutual funds that invest at least 65% of their assets in investment grade debt issues (rated in top four grades) with dollar-weighted average maturities of five to ten years. The Lipper Large-Cap Core Funds Category consists of mutual funds that, by portfolio practice, invest at least 75% of their equity assets in companies with market capitalizations (on a three-year weighted basis) greater than 300% of the dollar-weighted median market capitalization of the middle 1,000 securities of the S&P SuperComposite 1500 Index. Large-cap core funds have more latitude in the companies in which they invest. These funds typically have an average price-to-earnings ratio, price-to-book ratio, and three-year sales-per-share growth value, compared to the S&P 500 Index. For the 1 year period ended 6/30/05, the MMA Praxis Core Stock Fund ranked 671 out of 908 funds within Lipper's Large-Cap Core funds category. For the 5 year period ended 6/30/05, the Fund ranked 160 out of 618. It was not ranked for the 10 year period. The Lipper ranking is based on total return and does not reflect a sales charge. The Lipper Large-Cap Value Funds Category consists of mutual funds that, by portfolio practice, invest at least 75% of their equity assets in companies with market capitalizations (on a three-year weighted basis) greater than 300% of the dollar-weighted median market capitalization of the middle 1,000 securities of the S&P SuperComposite 1500 Index. Large-cap value funds typically have a below-average price-to-earnings ratio, price-to-book ratio, and three-year sales-per-share growth value, compared to the S&P 500 Index. For the 1 year period ended 6/30/05, the MMA Praxis Value Index Fund ranked 160 out of 436 funds within Lipper's Large-Cap Value funds category. For the 5 and 10 year periods ended 6/30/05, the Fund was not ranked. The Lipper ranking is based on total return and does not reflect a sales charge. The Lipper International Multi-Cap Core Funds Category consists of mutual funds that, by portfolio practice, invest in a variety of market capitalization ranges without concentrating 75% of their equity assets in any one market capitalization range over an extended period of time. Multi-cap funds typically have 25% to 75% of their assets invested in companies strictly outside of the U.S. with market capitalizations (on a three-year weighted basis) greater than the 250th-largest company in the S&P/Citigroup World ex-U.S. Broad Market Index. Multi-cap core funds typically have an average price-to-cash flow ratio, price-to-book ratio, and three-year sales-per-share growth value compared to the S&P/Citigroup World ex-U.S. BMI. For the 1 year period ended 6/30/05, the MMA Praxis International Fund ranked 182 out of 273 funds within Lipper's International Multi-Cap Core funds category. For the 5 year period ended 6/30/05, the Fund ranked 144 out of 165. It was not ranked for the 10 year period. The Lipper ranking is based on total return and does not reflect a sales charge. The above indices are unmanaged and do not reflect the deduction of expenses associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management and fund accounting fees. An investor cannot invest directly in an index, although they can invest in the underlying securities. A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT FINANCIAL MARKETS IN REVIEW Dear MMA Praxis Shareholder: Stocks rebounded a bit in the second quarter, narrowing the losses from the first quarter. The Standard & Poor's 500 is essentially flat for year-to-date, posting a loss of (0.81 percent) through June 30, 2005, while the Barra Value Index (essentially the value style stocks in the S&P 500) was just positive with a gain of .09 percent. Comparing value and growth, value continued its multiyear outperformance, with the Barra Growth Index losing 1.73 percent, while the Barra Value Index was up just slightly, as previously noted. REITs (real estate investment trusts), had another strong quarter, with a gain of more than 15 percent, as measured by the Wilshire REIT Index. Foreign stocks, measured in dollar terms, struggled in the first half of 2005, posting a return of (1.17 percent). On the fixed-income side, investors demonstrated some confusion regarding the direction of interest rates and moved bond prices in different directions throughout the first half of the year. At the end of June, the Lehman Aggregate Bond Index was up 2.51 percent. FIRST QUARTER 2005 SECOND QUARTER 2005 YEAR TO DATE 2005 (1/1/05-3/31/05) (4/1/05-6/30/05) (1/1/05-6/30/05) ------------------ ------------------- ----------------- S&P 500 Index(1) -2.15% 1.37% -0.81% ----- ----- ----- Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index(1) -0.48% 3.01% 2.51% ----- ----- ----- S&P 500/Barra Value Index(1) -2.43% 2.58% 0.09% ----- ----- ----- MSCI EAFE Index(1) -0.17% -1.01% -1.17% ----- ----- ----- DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU READ Recently, we've had some inquiries from clients and advisors about the "inevitable" impending doom we face. The forces supposedly leading us to doom vary - sometimes it's inflation, sometimes it's the current account deficit, sometimes it's the budget deficit, or it can be something else entirely - but the unified theme is that something bad is going to happen, and the question is what are we doing about it. There are two parts to this response. First is the question of whether doom is really knocking on our doorstep, and the other is what we're doing to help protect the funds you, the shareholder, entrust to MMA Praxis. The media - print, television, the Internet - are the main sources of information for the average investor. Like many of you, we read the newspaper in the morning with our coffee. Some of us check the Internet a couple times a day to see what's going on in the world, and turn on the TV when we get home and watch the news (some investors even let CNBC run in the background all day long). All of these sources have become intertwined with our daily lives, and we trust the information they provide us is accurate and reliable. We have a tendency to assume we're getting all the relevant information we need from these sources, and that we can use that information to form opinions about politics, what the weather is going to be like tomorrow, and how we should invest. It would be easy at this point in the commentary to launch into a missive about whether this source or that source has a political agenda or a liberal/ conservative bias, but that's not what we want to focus on here. Instead, we want to address a broader issue: the importance of considering the source. Media companies are businesses. Their job is to make money, just like most other businesses. The Wall Street Journal is owned by Dow Jones & Company, a publicly traded stock. CNBC is 80 percent owned by General Electric and 20 percent controlled by Vivendi Universal, both public companies. Many other newspapers, magazines, and television stations are owned by publicly traded companies, and many are - ---------------- (1) Please refer to the Glossary of Terms on page A for additional information on the referenced benchmark indices. 1 privately owned as well. But they all want to make a profit, and a big source of profit is advertising. And the larger the audience, the more advertising dollars they can command. The media company's logical strategy, therefore, is to reach and retain as many sets of eyeballs as it can. There are lots of ways to do this, but the biggest one for investment-oriented sources is creating a sense of urgency - especially urgency that appeals to the two main drivers of investor psychology: greed and fear. The buttons most frequently pushed by the financial media are in stories purporting to name the next stock that's poised for huge gains (greed), and warnings of impending disasters (fear). If you've ever watched CNBC, you know exactly what we're talking about: a constant stream of information whizzes by throughout the day, letting you know what's going up and what's going down. Each "segment" lasts just a few minutes and usually proceeds at a breakneck pace, with guests and hosts always focusing in on "actionable" information. The popularity of articles with headlines like, "The one stock you need to own right now" or "Five stocks to avoid," tells you something about the tone the media is trying to establish. You don't want to miss out on "the next big thing" and perhaps even more importantly, you don't want to get caught making a big mistake. Our observation has been that the fear-oriented headlines become more common during shaky market environments, and the greed-oriented pieces usually show up more often when things are going well. This makes perfect sense: by appealing to the prevailing emotions of investors at any point in time, the media is more likely to attract and retain subscribers, which enables them to attract more advertisers and charge higher rates. Obviously, that's good for their bottom line. Unfortunately, this isn't necessarily in the best interests of investors. Lots of studies have shown that frequent traders - as a whole - perform worse than those who trade less frequently. This probably relates to a wide range of decision errors. The field of behavioral finance has covered many of these at great length. Case in point. Investors tend to place way too much emphasis on the short-term results of an investment manager. Anecdotally, it seems investors are more willing than ever to hop from one mutual fund to another, chasing good performance in the hope of boosting their own returns. Recent research confirms that this is the case. According to the Investment Company Institute, the annual turnover rate of shares by equity fund investors in 2000 was 39.6 percent, up from 6 percent in 1970. Studies have shown that all of this buying and selling only leaves investors worse off: In aggregate, mutual fund investors have actually underperformed mutual funds! Another important fact is that investors tend to perceive the risk to be the greatest once the market has already substantially declined in value. The media companies know this. Thus, their emphasis during these times is often on issues that investors should fear. After all, this is what investors are thinking about. The problem with this is that after the market has already declined sharply, it's usually the worst possible time to be selling. Why is this? Because the prevailing fears of investors have already been priced into the market, and oftentimes valuations are far more attractive than they were before the decline began (when, ironically, many investors felt there was very little risk with the market). So the increased fears promulgated by the media effectively encourage investors to do the worst possible thing: sell when you should be holding or possibly even buying. With the exception of 2003 and the final few months of 2004, the stock market as a whole has not performed well over the past five years (though some asset classes did well, such as REITs and value stocks). Therefore, it makes sense the media would currently be giving a lot of attention to all the negatives and risks. They know investors are probably feeling a bit scared and are frustrated with a low five-year return number, especially given how much money many of them lost in the 2000 to 2002 bear market. We would expect this, and it could continue for a long time. It's important to emphasize that we're - ---------------- PAST PERFORMANCE DOES NOT GUARANTEE FUTURE RESULTS.

However, we are postulating that you often do not receive complete and objective information from the popular financial media, and both individual investors and advisors would be well served to keep this in mind when they're forming opinions about the markets and the investment landscape in general. Not all sources of information have spin. Many are responsible about their research and how they present their points, although in our experience these are far fewer in number than the standard financial media providers. We read much of the same print media as everyone else: The Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, Business Week, Fortune, Forbes, Smart Money and so on, with a careful awareness of the issues we mentioned above. But the places we go to get high-quality analysis tend to be research-oriented firms whose businesses usually depend on their reputation for careful, objective analysis, rather than advertising revenues. At MMA, we get data from many different sources, which enables us to cross-reference and carefully evaluate the validity of what's going on in the investment and economic worlds. IS THE MEDIA OVERSTATING THE BIG-PICTURE RISKS? We're not denying the validity of the risks everyone is talking about. The current account deficit is worrisome and increases the risk of a dollar crash and the financial market chaos that would ensue. On the other hand, the dollar has already declined substantially from its peak levels, so perhaps it's only a matter of time until the current account deficit numbers improve. Clearly, a dollar crash would be bad for all countries. Thus, central banks of the world would likely take unified action to defend against such an outcome. The U.S. budget deficit is also massive, and with a huge deficit comes the potential for higher interest rates, reduced public sector spending, or higher taxes. But while the budget deficit is very large in dollar terms, it's only 3.3 percent of Gross Domestic Product(1) and has actually been improving in recent months. Housing prices have been soaring in many markets around the country, and they could be due for a recession-inducing pullback. But this varies significantly from market to market, and not all analysts agree that a housing crisis - and the resulting impact on consumer spending - is imminent. These risks are all real, but what you often don't hear in the media is a balanced analysis or additional context that helps provide a more complete picture of the issue and the uncertainties that surround it. As of this writing, our valuation model currently shows the S&P 500 as being close to fair value (perhaps a bit below). This surely doesn't bode well for generating above-average returns, especially in light of the significant macro risks previously noted. A very simplistic analysis of return expectations goes something like this: assuming that valuations are close to "fair," we would expect to earn about 2 percent per year in dividends. If earnings grow at 3.5 percent on average (a conservative number, which is about half their long-term average growth rate), we'd be looking at returns of roughly 5 - 6 percent for large company stocks for the next few years. At MMA Praxis, our analysis always comes back to valuations. There is never a shortage of things to worry about, but understanding the extent to which those risks are already being reflected in market prices is the key to making good investment decisions. The obligation of investors who elect to entrust their investment dollars to MMA Praxis is to understand the risks associated with each of our different mutual funds, and select the one that best reflects their tolerance for risk, their investment time horizon and financial planning goals. - ---------------- (1) Please refer to the Glossary of Terms on page A for additional information on the referenced benchmark indices.

These returns lagged the benchmark established for the Income Fund (Lehman Aggregate Bond Index(1)), which returned 2.51 percent over the same time period. Compared to its Lipper peer group, the A Shares fund exceeded the average intermediate term bond fund category average (467 funds), which gained 2.05 percent. For an in-depth analysis of this fund's strategy, please read the co-portfolio managers' commentary found later in this report. INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS: Intermediate Income Fund Bond funds will tend to experience smaller fluctuations in value than stock funds. However, investors in any bond fund should anticipate fluctuations in price, especially for longer-term issues and in environments of rising interest rates. Bond funds are also subject to the risk that principal value reacts in opposition to the movement of interest rates and that rising interest rate environment increases the risk of loss of principal. MMA PRAXIS CORE STOCK FUND MMA Praxis Core Stock Fund Class A Shares (NAV) returned (1.60 percent)* for the six-month period ended June 30, 2005 while the Class B Shares (NAV) generated a return of (1.92 percent)*. These returns were less than the established benchmark for the core stock fund, which returned (0.81 percent). According to Lipper, the core stock fund's year-to-date 2005 performance landed it in the 63rd percentile among its large-cap core peer group (933 funds). On a longer-term basis, the fund (A Shares NAV) has delivered a total return of 4.20 percent* over three years and (1.62 percent)* cumulative returns over the past five years. Lipper reports that the A Shares of the core stock fund was ranked in the 82nd and 26th percentile among their peer category group based on the three and five year numbers cited above. The co-portfolio managers' report will provide you with an in-depth analysis of those factors that contributed to the fund's relative performance. INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS: Core Stock Fund Equity securities (stocks) are more volatile and carry more risk than other forms of investments, including investments in high-grade fixed income securities. The net asset value per share of this Fund will fluctuate as the value of the securities in the portfolio changes. Common stocks, and funds investing in common stocks, generally provide greater return potential when compared with other types of investments. MMA PRAXIS VALUE INDEX FUND As noted in the introductory comments, value once again outperformed a growth style of investing for the first half of 2005. For the first six months, the MMA Praxis Value Index Fund A Shares (NAV) were up 0.08 percent* while the B Shares posted a slight loss of (0.06 percent)*. The benchmark index for this fund, the S&P 500/BARRA Value Index(1), gained 0.09 percent (Note: it is not possible to invest directly in an index, which does not incur expenses INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS: Value Index Fund Value-based investments are subject to the risk that the broad market may not recognize their intrinsic value. Equity securities (stocks) are more volatile and carry more risk than other forms of investments, including investments in high-grade fixed income securities. The net asset value per share of this Fund will fluctuate as the value of the securities in the portfolio changes. Common stocks, and funds investing in common stocks, generally provide greater return potential when compared with other types of investments. Securities indexes assume reinvestment of all distributions and interest payments and do not take in account brokerage fees or expenses. Securities in the Fund do not match those in the indexes and performance of the fund will differ.

Among its Lipper peer universe, the A Shares 2005 year-to-date performance placed the fund in the 52nd percentile (447 funds). Over the past three years, the A Shares have delivered average annualized returns of 9.19 percent* (25th percentile). MMA PRAXIS INTERNATIONAL FUND After a relatively quiet first quarter, the second quarter was a volatile period for the international markets. The rising U.S. dollar took a toll on some of the positive returns generated by international equities, particularly in May and June. MMA Praxis International Fund Class A Shares (NAV) returned (2.08 percent)* and the Class B Shares (NAV) posted a loss of (2.43 percent)*. The fund underperformed its benchmark, the MSCI AC World Free-(ex. U.S.) Index(1) (the "MSCI Index"), which was down (1.17 percent). Among its Lipper peer category group (289 funds), the Class A Shares ranked in the 77th percentile. INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS: International Fund International investing involves increased risk and volatility. Among others, additional risks include fluctuations in currency exchange rates, differences among various countries in how taxes are computed and paid, differences in accounting standards which can result in different valuations for similar companies, and differences in auditing and financial reporting practices. During the past two years, socially responsible investors in international funds have struggled to compete with their non-SRI competitors and the benchmark MSCI Index. Our screening process excludes many large energy companies, mining firms (commodities) and emerging companies in countries like China and Russia, where it is difficult to obtain data on corporate behavior in the areas of respecting the environment and human rights. Research over the years reveals we will encounter periods of time (some lasting several years) where our commitment to stewardship investing principles will result in lagging investment performance. However, over a longer period of time, we believe the application of social screens will not inevitably lead to poor performance. We appreciate your patience as we wait for improved relative performance. Please read the commentary from the portfolio managers of the MMA Praxis International Fund for an in-depth analysis of the fund's performance and an understanding of the current investment strategy. CLOSING THOUGHTS Winston Churchill once said, "A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty." Despite our belief that returns could be lower than their long-term historical averages over the next few years, we see opportunities and believe that respectable returns can be attained. As long-term investors, we expect volatility to be our friend by occasionally creating opportunities to buy stock and bonds at bargain prices. We also continue to expect our investment managers to add value over and above their benchmarks, based on the extensive due diligence we have done and continue to do. In short, we believe that our strengths - our disciplined approach to investing, attention to risk and securities valuations, and stewardship investing criteria that lead us to companies that have demonstrated sound management and ethics - will continue to be rewarded in this environment. As always, we are committed to staying focused and doing all we can to achieve investment success on your behalf. Thank you for your continued trust and confidence in the MMA Praxis Mutual Funds.

Its aim was to test what socially responsible investing ("SRI") practices would become if picked up by mainstream (or non-SRI investment managers) within 10 years. The results indicated that a surprising number of investment managers saw their industry trending toward various SRI practices: - - 89 percent saw active ownership (shareholder advocacy/proxy voting) becoming mainstream. - - 73 percent thought the incorporation of environmental and social data in decision making would be picked up by non-SRI managers. - - 65 percent saw the use of positive or negative screens gaining broad-based acceptance. Perhaps not surprisingly, opinions were not evenly shared around the world. The United States was the primary dissenter, with 60 percent saying screening or use of environmental and social data would never become a mainstream investment practice. In contrast, eight out of 10 Asian/Australian investment managers believe all SRI practices will become mainstream within the next decade.

Its sheer size and market dominance in several sectors mean its actions - both positive and negative - are headline news and have industry impact far beyond the company's own borders. The company's single-minded dedication to lowering prices has prompted great innovation and also generated substantial concern as Wal-Mart's economic and social impact ripple across the globe. Some social investors would have MMA avoid Wal-Mart completely. However, MMA believes Wal-Mart, in all its complexity, is too important to ignore - for both social and financial reasons. It is then critical that we exercise our shareholder rights and responsibilities to make a positive impact for the benefit of employees, vendors, and stockholders at Wal-Mart and the many industries it influences. The company has been part of MMA's stewardship investing universe for many years, but has just recently re-entered the MMA Praxis Core Stock Fund*. As part of its shareholder advocacy efforts, MMA Praxis and other members of the Interfaith Center of Corporate Responsibility (ICCR) co-filed a resolution earlier this year on the issue of Wal-Mart's social and environmental sustainability. Sustainability is a business model that instructs companies to take into consideration the needs and interests of various stakeholders as an integral part of sustaining their business, communities, and the environment for future generations. Sustainability also entails measuring and reporting corporate performance against economic, social, and environmental criteria. The goal of the resolution addresses Wal-Mart's definition of sustainability; current company policies and practices related to sustainability; and, Wal-Mart's long-term plans to integrate sustainability objectives throughout its organization. Shareholders have requested the Wal-Mart Board of Directors prepare a sustainability report, at reasonable expense and omitting proprietary information, by December 2005. Concerned shareholders are having an impact. At Wal-Mart's June 3, 2005, annual meeting the sustainability resolution received an impressive positive vote of 15.2 percent of all outstanding shares. This represents the support of more than one-quarter of all shares outside the Walton family. The company agreed at the meeting that it would issue a sustainability report, but declined to set a timetable. A second ICCR-sponsored resolution seeking the disclosure of Wal-Mart's Equal Employment Opportunity data received a positive vote of 18.8 percent. - ---------------- * Wal-Mart is a current holding of MMA Praxis Core Stock Fund. Wal-Mart is not a past or present holding of MMA Praxis International, Intermediate Income, or Value Index funds. 6 During ICCR's February 2005 meeting with Wal-Mart, CEO Lee Scott traveled to New York (an almost unheard of act of deference to ICCR's own clout) to meet with more than 60 shareholders about a wide range of issues - including the long term viability/sustainability of Wal-Mart's business model. After five years of ICCR work on vendor standards with Wal-Mart, Mr. Scott now includes the company's new standards and monitoring program as his answer to the constant drive to reduce prices and its potentially negative impact on those producing the products. Wal-Mart has launched a 2,000-member division to monitor and maintain its vendor standards (thus supposedly providing upward pressure to counter the downward) at over 35,000 different production facilities. While the effectiveness of this "solution" is not yet clear, it is an act of responsiveness that Wal-Mart wouldn't even have considered 5 years ago. It also lays the foundation for further engagement with ICCR in the future. MMA will be participating in a one day Wal-Mart strategy session with other faith-based investors prior to ICCR's fall meeting in September. Finally, socially concerned investors representing over $35 billion in assets have recently developed a set of guidelines for the siting and development of big-box retail stores (including Wal-Mart). Shareholders will be working with a range of companies beginning this fall to discuss ways more careful attention to this issue can help avoid costly delays and damage to reputations from challenged development, while improving community relations. SHAREHOLDERS CELEBRATE PEPSICO'S FIRST GLOBAL AIDS POLICY AND REPORT Following a number of meetings between shareholders, PepsiCo executives, and representatives of the Global Business Coalition on HIV/AIDS, PepsiCo has launched a new company-wide policy responding to the HIV/AIDS pandemic. In response to three years of work by concerned shareholders, which was lead by MMA, the company made significant strides in its policy and approach. The lack of a clear treatment commitment for its employees was strengthened, as were sections on PepsiCo's work with its broader community and other sectors of society. The company has also released its first HIV/AIDS report, articulating the impact the disease has, or may soon have, on its business prospects around the world. This report is still in its early stages and will deepen as the company's new programs get established. The report does follow the standards for HIV/AIDS reporting established under the Global Reporting Initiative, through a program funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. I attended PepsiCo's annual meeting in May and reported on the progress the company has made from the shareholder's perspective. You can find the new policy and report under "HIV/AIDS Initiatives" in the Citizenship section of Pepsi's corporate Web site (www.pepsico.com). MMA's statement at the PepsiCo annual meeting and more information on MMA's shareholder advocacy efforts can be found in the stewardship investing section of www.mmapraxis.com.** UNITED KINGDOM RELIGIOUS INVESTORS VISIT MMA In June, MMA played host to two representatives of the institutional faith-based investment community in the United Kingdom. Bill Seddon, Investment Manager of Central Finance Board of the Methodist Church, and John Cunningham, the Financial Secretary of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Plymouth, England, and the elected Chair of the newly established Church Investors Group (CIG), visited MMA's corporate headquarters as part of their tour of prominent, American religious investment institutions. Seddon and Cunningham wanted to learn more about MMA's stewardship investing approach and how faith-based ethics are integrated into our holistic stewardship philosophy. Seddon stated, "The churches [in the United Kingdom and around the world] already have very similar views on the ethical issues relating to investment. Now we are committed to working together in our dealings with the business community. It will be an excellent witness for the churches, both large and small, to speak to company management with a single voice when addressing ethical concerns." Both Seddon and Cunningham emphasized their belief that the international Christian community should work together in understanding the impact and opportunities in investing. They are actively - ---------------- ** PepsiCo is a current holding of MMA Praxis Core Stock Fund.

The two spent 10 days visiting organizations located within the United States, discussing shared values and exploring partnership opportunities. Both felt the trip to Goshen (the second visit to our office by a representative of the Central Finance Board in 12 months) and discussion of MMA's stewardship investing philosophy were very valuable. The day's discussion touched on a wide range of subjects, from products and services to the social and political characteristics that make serving the church in the United States and the United Kingdom both similar and different. The visit underscored the value and potential of building ties and nurturing collaborative opportunities within the international faith community. SIF STUDY HIGHLIGHTS PROXY VOTING BEST PRACTICES A new study from the Social Investment Forum US ("SIF"), Mutual Funds, Proxy Voting, and Fiduciary Responsibility: How do funds rate on voting their proxies and disclosure practices?, released in April, highlights the important role SRI funds have played in leading the way in proxy voting disclosure policy and practice. The study compared the top 10 conventional mutual fund families and the top 10 SRI fund families - including MMA Praxis Mutual Funds - on a number of issues related to proxy voting. The study noted that not only are SRI funds stronger on social and environmental issues - which might be expected - but also on issues of corporate governance. The report also established current "best practices" for the articulation and disclosure of proxy voting policies and guidelines and ease of access to this information. MMA made the "leaders" list in the areas of Quality of Proxy Guidelines, Ease of Finding Proxy Guidelines, and Ease of Finding Proxy votes. All fund families were encouraged to increase customer service training and knowledge on this issue. The MMA Praxis proxy voting guidelines and live proxy voting record can be found on the Web (www.mmapraxis.com). NEW INVESTMENTS BY MMA COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT INVESTMENTS MMA seeks to address the plight of poor and disadvantaged communities in the United States and around the world by pursuing an aggressive program of community development investing. Fueled by the growth of the MMA Praxis Mutual Funds (which invest at least 1 percent in community investments) and other MMA related entities, MMA Community Development Investments has made the following new investments: - - $200,000 in Bank 2, a native American-owned community development bank in Oklahoma. - - $250,000 increase to Illinois Facilities Fund to support its facilities lending to faith-based institutions. - - $500,000 in the Global Commercial Microfinance Consortium, backed by Deutsche Bank, to support lending to high-quality microfinance organizations around the world. - - $250,000 in Equal Exchange, a fair-trade marketing and distribution organization. - - $200,000 in Self-Help Ventures Fund to support its lending to disadvantaged communities in the Charlotte, NC, area. - - $100,000 in Hope Community Credit Union, a faith-based credit union serving low-income communities in the Mississippi Delta. - - $100,000 in Northwest Baptist Federal Credit Union, a faith-based credit union in Seattle specializing in serving the needs of the disabled. - - $200,000 in People's Self Help Housing Corporation, providing affordable housing in Southern California.

However, investors in any bond fund should anticipate fluctuations in price, especially for longer-term issues and in environments of rising interest rates. Bond funds are also subject to the risk that principal value reacts in opposition to the movement of interest rates and that rising interest rate environment increases the risk of loss of principal. Economic growth during the first half of the year was roughly 3.5 percent with a strong first quarter followed by a mini-inventory correction, and a rebound by June. Variation in growth perceptions as economic data rose, slumped and then rebounded and led to large swings in rates. The 10-year Treasury performance illustrated this with rates initially rising to 4.64 percent in late March, then plummeting to 3.88 percent in June, before moving back nearly 4 percent to end the first half. While long rates were declining, short rates continued their upward march. The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) met four times during the first half of the year and raised the Federal Funds rate .25 percent each time, leaving the rate at its current 3.25 percent. This kept short-term rates moving up while long rates fell, resulting in a very flat yield curve. Economic data seemed to reveal a steadily growing economy that is getting closer to fully utilizing capacity, potentially leading to somewhat higher inflation. Forecasts for inflation moved up modestly, mainly due to high oil prices. Employment gains, while very volatile, on a month-to-month basis, held at the 175,000 per month rate that has characterized much of this expansion. The fund benefited from its overweight in A-rated Corporates, its yield curve positioning, and its duration strategy of gradually lengthening maturities when rates rose, and reducing duration when rates fell. The fund also benefited from its relatively low exposure to the auto sector relative to our benchmark.(1) OUTLOOK The outlook for the second half of the year remains favorable. Despite higher short-term interest rates, a stronger dollar and high oil prices, household incomes continue to grow and investment spending remains strong. We believe that growth can be sustained in the 3 percent - 3.5 percent range for the rest of the year. Inflation appears to be rising slowly but not out of line with past recoveries. If growth overseas slows for a quarter or two, inflationary pressures from supply shortages should ease allowing inflation from those sources to ease. The biggest risk is the steady increase in unit labor costs. We believe these pressures will remain moderate for the rest of 2005. - ---------------- (1) Portfolio holdings are subject to change and should not be considered a recommendation to buy individual securities.

This push from the Fed, combined with growth at a rate that is still fast enough to push the unemployment rate slightly lower, should lead to higher long bond rates. On the other hand, the huge savings flows from overseas sources and domestic corporations have held long rates lower than one would expect and we expect this to continue to temper the upward trend, despite the small revaluation of the Chinese Yen. Our strategy still calls for a defensive posture to protect against higher rates and the risk of spread widening as Fed policy moves to a more neutral status.

The net asset value per share of this Fund will fluctuate as the value of the securities in the portfolio changes. Common stocks, and funds investing in common stocks, generally provide greater return potential when compared with other types of investments. U.S. equity indexes edged higher during the second quarter as a mid-May rally reversed the markets' weakness through the first four months of the year. Despite high energy prices, the economy continued growing at a respectable clip and interest rates remained low, encouraging investors to bid stocks higher. Particularly strong during the first half of the year were the energy and utilities sectors. With current oil prices near $60 per barrel as the quarter ended, companies all across the energy industry continue to generate record profits. From gasoline retailers to refiners, to producers to drilling equipment makers, these are the best of times, with strong demand for distilled petroleum products and tight supply of the resources needed to produce the slippery gold. Whether $60 is the right settling price is in debate, but what is clear is that worldwide demand has been strong as the economies of some of the largest energy consumers - the United States, India, and China - remain healthy. The current oil price probably also includes a premium to account for geopolitical risk, that nebulous concept that encompasses concerns about the war in Iraq, terrorism, and the emergence of China as an economic powerhouse, among other difficult to quantify risks. Stocks in the utilities sector extended their strong returns during the first half of the year. With interest rates on bonds at a low level over the last few years, investors have turned to utilities stocks as a comparatively safe place to invest. In doing so, investors pushed utilities stocks to levels 30 percent higher than where they normally trade relative to market valuations and consequently have driven dividend yields lower. At the beginning of the year, we had expected interest rates to rise modestly, leading to weaker performance from utilities stocks, but so far we have been wrong, which cost our performance during the quarter. The U.S. economy's steady recovery from its so-called soft patch a few years ago has been impressive. The first quarter's 3.8 percent Gross Domestic Product(1) growth represented the 8th straight quarter that the economy grew at a pace greater than 3 percent. This recovery period has been longer than normal, but we believe we are now entering a more mature (that is, slower) phase of economic growth. With this shift, we expect the long period of outperformance by small company stocks to give way to large company leadership. Still, small company indexes performed well again during the second quarter, though larger companies with strong profit growth appear to be gaining a foothold. In recent letters we have written about the returns of low-quality stocks versus high-quality stocks at different intervals of an economic recovery. In 2003, early in the economic recovery, low-quality - ---------------- (1) Please refer to the Glossary of Terms on page A for additional information on the referenced benchmark indices.

In 2004, the balance between low and high quality was a bit more balanced. As the current economic cycle gets long in the tooth in mid-2005, we would expect the advantage to shift towards high-quality stocks. This is happening in fits and starts due in part to some of the high-profile corporate problems at what were - and still are - considered high quality companies, at least in terms of their financial strength. According to Merrill Lynch, over the last 20 years investors have been willing to pay higher prices relative to profits for low quality companies in short intervals of a year or two, typically when the economy was improving from a prior period of weakness. However, since 1999, investors have been willing to pay higher prices for companies with weaker financial characteristics than they are willing to pay for more stable companies, which to us seems counterintuitive. With the above as background, the MMA Praxis Core Stock Fund underperformed its benchmark by 0.79 percent (Class A shares) during the first half of the year, but it remains well within striking distance for the second half of the year. Areas of strength for the fund during the half-year period, when stocks struggled to move higher, include energy and certain areas of technology. Our choice to not invest in utilities, our policy not to invest in aerospace and defense companies, and a few stock specific situations detracted from performance.(1) Drilling contractors Transocean and Ensco benefited from increasing demand for their drilling rigs as oil companies sought to capitalize on high oil prices. Rental rates of some of Transocean's most technically advanced and rugged drilling rigs recently topped an astounding $400,000 per day, significantly above the levels reached during previous oil patch booms. Our other holdings in the sector including BP, Anadarko Petroleum, and Schlumberger also added significantly to our performance during the period, though the prohibition against investing in Exxon Mobil cost us on a relative basis.(1) A handful of our technology holdings bucked the negative trend in the sector during the period, with Intel, Texas Instruments, and Jabil Circuit, all delivering solidly positive returns. For Intel and Texas Instruments, they are benefiting from a tentative upturn in the semiconductor cycle, and Jabil Circuit simply is executing far better than its peers in the contract manufacturing sector.(1) Areas of the market sensitive to the ebb and flow of the economy struggled, with the industrials, materials, and transportation sectors significantly trailing the rest of the market. The strong demand characterizing the early quarters of economic recovery has been fully discounted into the prices of stocks in these sectors, and now investors are beginning to anticipate the next slowdown. Fortunately, we are not overly exposed to these sectors, though our industrial holdings 3M and Thomas & Betts did trade off during period. We added to 3M in many portfolios on the assumption that it can grow through the economic cycles and began reducing our Thomas & Betts position early in the quarter to book some of the gains we've generated over the last two years. Norfolk Southern also traded lower despite its strong operating performance resulting partially from its coal hauling business, which has been very strong.(1) Another area of strength more recently was our insurance holdings. AIG appears to be making progress in righting the company after its well-publicized earnings management and corporate governance flap earlier in the year. Its shares were up 5 percent during the second quarter. Allstate and Chubb also added to gains over the last two years with returns of 11.1 percent and 8.5 percent, respectively, as the insurance business continues its momentum.(1) - ----------- (1) Portfolio holdings are subject to change and should not be considered a recommendation to buy individual securities.

TO OBTAIN PERFORMANCE INFORMATION CURRENT TO THE MOST RECENT MONTH END, PLEASE VISIT WWW.MMAPRAXIS.COM. 28 As we exited the first half of the year, we took profits on a few holdings that we believe were overstretched relative to their prospects. This left the fund with cash representing roughly 5 percent of the portfolio, though it had been in the 2-3 percent range for the majority of the period. We do this not because we have a particular view on the valuation of the equity market at large, but merely because of the timing of our sales and what we anticipate will be consequent purchases. OUTLOOK We continue to believe that investments in large financially healthy companies will perform better than the returns afforded by smaller, less financially stable companies over the near term. While this may sound like a strategy for all situations, it is particularly true now as we expect economic growth to moderate in the coming quarters, which usually advantages leading companies. So far, this thesis has taken some time to play out as economic growth has remained strong for longer than normal, mid- and long-term interest rates have remained very low, and investors still have an appetite for risk in the form of unproven companies. However, we believe history and logic are on our side. The price of oil remains a determinant in the performance of stocks in the near term, as does the interest rate regime. The unpredictability of oil prices, despite many analysts' attempts at pinpointing the right price, will likely buffet stocks over the short term, but eventually companies and investors will adjust their expectations to account for what appears to be a period of higher energy costs. Investors will also keep a close watch on the actions of the Federal Reserve, which at this point appears intent on increasing short term rates for fear of inducing inflation. Long term rates appear to be settling at a level significantly lower than many expected, which in a vacuum, is a positive for stock values. By contrast, a move higher in the 10-year Treasury rate would likely put pressure on stocks. Chad M. Horning, CFA(R) MMA Praxis Core Stock Fund Co-Manager John M.

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 of this Fund were not in existence prior to 5/12/99. Class A Share performance calculated for any period prior to 5/12/99 is based on the performance of Class B Share since inception 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.

Equity securities (stocks) are more volatile and carry more risk than other forms of investments, including investments in high-grade fixed income securities. The net asset value per share of this Fund will fluctuate as the value of the securities in the portfolio changes. Common stocks, and funds investing in common stocks, generally provide greater return potential when compared with other types of investments. Securities indexes assume reinvestment of all distributions and interest payments and do not take in account brokerage fees or expenses. Securities in the fund do not match those in the indexes and performance of the fund will differ. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. Large company value indexes again outpaced growth indexes during the first half of 2005, though both strategies delivered disappointing returns. MMA Praxis Value Index Fund performed in line with its benchmark during the first half of the year, with returns attributed to industry weightings more than offsetting the drag resulting from overall fundamental characteristics of the portfolio. Stocks in the energy and technology sectors performed well while stocks in the financial and consumer cyclical sectors lagged. In a reversal from the first quarter, MMA's stewardship investing screens contributed positively to performance later in the first half of the year.(1) As a passively managed index fund, the managers do not explicitly manage the MMA Praxis Value Index 41 Fund on a daily basis. Index constituents are determined twice each year and stocks are purchased in relative proportion to their market values. We continue to believe the fund remains appropriate for diversified investors seeking exposure to the U.S. large-cap value portion of the market and who want their investments to reflect their values.

Among others, additional risks include fluctuations in currency exchange rates, differences among various countries in how taxes are computed and paid, differences in accounting standards which can result in different valuations for similar companies, and differences in auditing and financial reporting practices. MMA Praxis Mutual Funds invest in international equities that are screened to exclude companies deemed not socially responsible (SRI). This means that several industries are excluded completely from investment, and investment in certain other industries is limited. Excluded industries include tobacco, alcohol, and gambling. Manufacturing and mining are examples of limited industries. The restrictions also cover any companies with defense, abortifacient, adult entertainment, or nuclear power involvement, as well as companies with poor records in the environmental and human rights areas. Thus, holders of MMA Praxis Mutual Funds can be comforted in knowing their fund invests using rigorous SRI criteria. There are close to 900 companies that are not appropriate for investment due to the restrictions, including some large companies with a major presence in the MSCI AC World Free-(ex. U.S.) Index(1) (the "MSCI Index"); for example, Total, Siemens and E.ON. The MSCI Index, against which the Fund is compared, has no such restrictions. The large number of excluded names and industries means that comparing the Fund with an index that has no such restrictions can and does result in wide performance deviations.(2) STRATEGY During the first six months of the year, the fund remained underweight in Japan and Asia ex-Japan (largely Australia) while maintaining a modest position in Emerging Markets. Exposure to Europe and the U.K. was in line with the Index weights.(2) Japan was the largest contributing country due to a combination of an underweight exposure in a poorly performing market and stock outperformance. Among the companies with positive effect were Yamada Denki, the consumer electronics and white goods retailer (similar to Best Buy in the United States) that performed strongly on improved sales, and Orix, the Tokyo-based integrated financial services company. Select Emerging Markets also contributed.(2) In Hungary, Mol, the Hungarian oil refiner and distributor, and OTP Bank, a domestic retail bank with a growing presence in Eastern Europe, both added to their strong performance in 2004.(2) In Mexico, Cemex S.A., the world's third largest cement manufacturer, had strong returns for the first half of the year as it firmly fixed its market position in Europe following the acquisition of RMC, a U.K. cement manufacturer.(2) Within Europe, several countries had a positive effect, including Germany, Ireland and Spain. Over-weights in Ireland and Germany combined with outperformance in both markets boosted the Fund. In Germany, RWE, the growing utility company and Continental, the auto component and tire manufacturer were among the fund's top 10 performing stocks for the first half of the year. RWE, like other utility companies - ---------------- (1) Please refer to the Glossary of Terms on page A for additional information on the referenced benchmark indices.

Continental, the German tire manufacturer, continued to benefit from its low production costs in Eastern Europe. Ireland's Anglo Irish Bank continued its success of 2004 on further solid results.(1) In the U.K., there were strong contributions from a number of holdings, including BP, the fund's largest individual position. We believe this is one of the best integrated oil companies in the world and is a major beneficiary from the rise in energy prices. On July 26, BP announced it would buy back $6 billion in stocks and announced that earnings were up by 28 percent.(1) On a sector basis, an overweight position and outperformance made Consumer Discretionary the largest contributing sector. Strong stock outperformance in a weak-performing sector led to IT's significant contribution. Within Consumer Discretionary, Television Broadcasts, a television station in Hong Kong (and the largest Chinese program producer in the world), enjoyed the benefits of its continued dominance in the Asian market for Chinese language programming. Korean-based Hyundai added to Continental's strong showing in the Auto and Components industry. In IT, Neopost, France's office equipment company (and competitor of Pitney Bowes), posted double digit returns as did Bull, the French designer and developer of servers and software. Other stocks that benefited the fund in the first six months, included the BHP Billiton, the Anglo-Australian materials company that continued to reap the benefits of high commodity prices.(1) On a country basis, the major detractors were the U.K., France, and Australia. In the U.K., the weakest holding was Kingfisher, a home improvement retail group similar to Home Depot, which fell on weak sales and margins. Next, the clothes retailer, suffered from a slow down in consumer spending. Within Europe, stock performance in France and Norway, and an absence of exposure in Finland's Nokia were the causes. France's France Telecom, along with German holding, Deutsche Telecom, Norway's Telenor and the U.K.'s Vodafone, suffered from the general weakness in the telecommunication industry in the period.(1) Stock underperformance in the Energy sector, albeit the strongest performing in the period, detracted. Several of the poorer performing stocks came from the financial sector. Swiss Reinsurance posted double-digit losses following broker downgrades. Also, in Financials, a diverse group of banks including Royal Bank of Scotland, Credit Agricole of France, and Mitsubishi Financial Group of Japan produced negative performance.(1) OUTLOOK Although economic growth is slow in Japan and Europe, we are very heartened by the steps that many European and Japanese companies have taken. The fund is well positioned with many companies that are restructuring (which may enable them to increase profit margins despite slow macroeconomic growth), increasing dividends (e.g. Takefuji, France Telecom) and buying back shares (e.g. BP). In doing so, these types of companies have been acting in their shareholders' best interest.(1) In addition, companies have been very careful about capital allocation, as shareholders could punish a company that allocates capital unwisely. This is a very significant development, which we see vividly when we speak with top management of international companies. Looking ahead, we see good opportunities in European privatizations because governments are under pressure to reduce their budget deficits, and such sales by governments can help them accomplish that goal.

SEE NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. 72 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MMA PRAXIS MUTUAL FUNDS NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2005 (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, and the MMA Praxis International Fund (individually a "Fund", collectively the "Funds"). Also known as the Intermediate Income Fund, Core Stock Fund, International Fund, and Value Index Fund. The Funds offer two classes of shares, Class A and Class B. Each class of shares in the Fund has identical rights and privileges except with respect to fees paid under the distribution and shareholder serving 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 the 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Securities Valuation: Securities 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. The Adviser may use a pricing service to value certain portfolio securities when the prices provided are believed to reflect the fair market value of such securities. 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 may use computerized pricing models to systematically calculate adjustments to foreign security close 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. Several pricing services are available, one or more of which may be used by the Adviser from time to time. 73 MMA PRAXIS MUTUAL FUNDS NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED JUNE 30, 2005 (UNAUDITED) 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. Risk 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 Intermediate Fund, the Value Index 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 Fund's books, and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from 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 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 74 MMA PRAXIS MUTUAL FUNDS NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED JUNE 30, 2005 (UNAUDITED) 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. Futures Contracts: The Funds may invest in futures contracts (stock or bond index futures contracts or interest rate futures) to hedge or manage risks associated with a Fund's securities investments. To enter into a futures contract, an amount of cash and cash equivalents, equal to the market value of the futures contracts, is deposited in a segregated account with the Funds' 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 the Adviser's 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 the 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 pervious 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 traders 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 75 MMA PRAXIS MUTUAL FUNDS NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED JUNE 30, 2005 (UNAUDITED) specific names or a basket of names. The transactions are documented through swap documents. A "buyer" of credit protection agrees to pay a counterparty to assume the credit risk of an issuer upon the occurrence of certain events. The "seller" of credit protection receives a premium and agrees to assume the credit risk of an issuer upon the occurrence of certain events. Restricted Securities: 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. 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, (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 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 period ended June 30, 2005, the Funds had securities on loan as follows: Fee Paid to Market Market Value Northern Trust Value of of Loaned Company Collateral Securities -------------- ----------- ------------ Intermediate Income Fund $ 12,081 $15,479,343 $ 14,218,994 Core Stock Fund 1,359 4,834,298 4,696,885 Value Index Fund 533 1,759,775 1,658,712 International Fund 11,008 11,913,285 11,470,366 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 76 MMA PRAXIS MUTUAL FUNDS NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED JUNE 30, 2005 (UNAUDITED) with the community development investments, the Funds have received from the Securities and Exchange Commission an exemptive order that would permit each of the Funds to invest a limited portion of their 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, 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 priced 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, and the International Fund. Distributable net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually. The amounts of dividends from net investment income and of distributions from net realized gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. 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. To the extent dividends exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes, they are reported as distributions of capital. 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 or another reasonable basis. Expenses specific to a class are charged directly to that class. Small account fees charged to individual shareholders, where applicable, are used to offset Fund expenses. For the period ended June 30, 2005, small account fees for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 were utilized to reduce Fund expenses. The reductions were $3,061, $11,428, $2,373 and 77 MMA PRAXIS MUTUAL FUNDS NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED JUNE 30, 2005 (UNAUDITED) $14,494 for the Intermediate Income Fund, Core Stock Fund, Value Index Fund and International Fund, respectively. Each Fund maintains a cash balance with its custodian and receives a reduction of its custody fees and expenses for the amounts of interest earned on such uninvested cash balance. For financial reporting purposes for the period ended June 30, 2005, custodian fees and expenses paid by third parties were $13,910, $14,140, $1,929 and $31,982 for the Intermediate Income Fund, the Core Stock Fund, the Value Index Fund and the International Fund, respectively. There was no effect on net investment income. The Funds could have invested such cash amounts in an income producing asset if they had not agreed to a reduction of fees or expenses under the expense offset arrangement with their custodian. 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) for the period ended June 30, 2005 were as follows: Purchases Sales ----------- ----------- Intermediate Income Fund $53,474,472 $49,063,573 Core Stock Fund 8,688,947 15,846,415 Value Index Fund 8,295,295 4,287,130 International Fund 32,546,455 37,040,629 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.

Evergreen Investment Management Company, LLC, serves as the sub-adviser to the International Fund. The Adviser entered into expense limitation agreements 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). Effective May 1, 2004, each Fund has agreed to repay the Adviser for the amounts waived and/or reimbursed by the Adviser pursuant to the expense limitation agreement provided that such repayment does not cause the total annual fund operating expenses of Class A and Class B of each Fund to exceed 0.85% and 1.30% for the Intermediate Income Fund, 1.25% and 1.90% for the Core Stock Fund, 0.95% and 1.50% for the Value Index Fund and 1.50% and 2.15% for the International Fund. Effective May 1, 2005, the Funds have agreed to repay the Adviser for the amounts waived and/or reimbursed by the Adviser under the expense limitation agreement provided that such repayment does not cause the total annual fund operating expenses of Class A and Class B of each Fund to exceed 0.86% and 1.31% for the Intermediate Income Fund, 1.26% and 1.91% for the Core Stock Fund, 0.96% and 1.51% for the Value Index Fund and 1.50% and 2.15% for the International Fund.

Under the terms of the agreement effective July 1, 2003, BISYS receives fees for administration, transfer agent, and fund accounting services computed daily at an annual rate of each Fund's average daily net assets. The fees for the Intermediate Income Fund, Core Stock Fund, Value Index Fund and International Fund are .30%, .35%, .30%, and .40%, respectively. Pursuant to a Distribution Agreement between the Trust and BISYS Fund Services Limited Partnership, BISYS Fund Services Limited Partnership serves as the Funds' distributor ("Distributor"). Under a distribution (12b-1) plan adopted by the Trust, each Fund pays the Distributor, an aggregate fee not to exceed on an annual basis 0.50% of the average daily net assets of such Fund's Class A Shares. The Distributor may use up to 0.25% of the 12b-1 fee for shareholder servicing and up to 0.25% for distribution. Each Fund pays BISYS an aggregate fee not to exceed on an annual basis 1.00% of the average daily net assets of such Fund's Class B Shares. The Distributor may incur 0.25% of the 12b-1 fee for shareholder servicing and up to 0.75% for distribution. For the period ended June 30, 2005, the Distributor received approximately $421,244 from commissions earned on sales of Class A shares and on redemption of Class B shares of the Funds, all of which the Distributor reallowed to dealers of the Funds' shares. Of the commissions reallowed, $16,097 went to affiliated dealers. The Funds have contracted with BISYS to provide certain compliance services on behalf of the Funds. Subject to the direction and control of the Trustees, BISYS has developed and assisted in implementing a compliance program on behalf of the Funds and provides the Chief Compliance Officer to the Funds.

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, 2005 through June 30, 2005. 81 MMA PRAXIS MUTUAL FUNDS ADDITIONAL FUND INFORMATION, CONTINUED JUNE 30, 2005 (UNAUDITED) 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 total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
