Summary: One of six families struggles to conceive, a journey that can be challenging and filled with uncertainties.

By providing accurate ovulation predictions and cycle tracking, it has become a valuable tool for women worldwide. It also presents a unique opportunity for cross-cultural workers to build connections in communities where the gospel is still unknown in ways that lead to the birth of healthy babies and families transformed by the good news.
