Mission Network News was started in 1991 by World Concern, a ministry of Christa Ministries. The radio network started on the air on more than 200 Christian radio stations primarily in the United States. Hosted by Peter Brooks, MNN grew to more than 750 radio outlets around the world. It was produced by The Raymond Group or TRG until 1995 when Cornerstone University acquired the broadcast ministry.

According to the,[2] "Mission Network News is a mission news service dedicated to keeping Christians informed on evangelical mission activity around the world. In doing so we hope to educate and motivate Christians to prayer, participation, and support of missionary work to help further the Great Commission."

Since 1997, Ruth Bliss (since 2007, Ruth Kramer) has served as the producer.
