This series includes both the summary annual reports and the more substantial "working reports" of the mission agency associated with the Mennonite Church USA. The working reports from 2004 to 2010 include a report from the executive director, a financial overview examining budgeted contributions and expenses to actual amounts received and spent, reports on domestic and international ministries, and reports from the various administrative departments supporting work in the United States and abroad.

Researchers should note that full annual reports begin in 2004, two years after the creation of the Mennonite Mission Network.

Files pertaining to the production of evangelistic radio programs broadcast in languages other than English and/or made specifically for international distribution.  As the title of this records series suggests, the primary broadcasting language documenting in these files is Russian.  Programs were also produced in German, French, Portuguese, Italian, Japanse, and Navaho and for distribution in Africa, Australia, and Israel.  The records of Spanish-language evangelism programs may be found in the JELAM (Junta Ejecutiva Latinoamericana de Audiciones Menonitas) Records, IV-13-006 or the JELAM Program Files (IV-13-010.6).

This series documents the information Mennonite Media provided about itself and its work through press releases, newsletters, articles submitted to religious periodicals and news agencies, and advertisements.  This series also includes examples of ad evangelism -- newspaper and magazine ads for local churches and the denomination.   Researchers should note that the news releases cover the earlier years of the media ministry (1957-1979).  The tight relationship that developed between Mennonite Media and Mennonite Board of Missions resulted in less independent publicity of the work of Mennonite Media.  Therefore, researchers should consult the Mennonite Board of Missions News Releases for press releases about Mennonite Media after 1980.

Correspondence with recipients of funds donated to support the wives and children of Civilian Public Service volunteers.

Ledgers and pledge cards documenting individual, congregational, and conference financial contributions to mission work and missionary support.
