Where feet are washed, the King is known

About

We are a group of followers of Jesus, serving quietly and faithfully across various Middle Eastern contexts. What unites us is simple: a deep love for this region, a mission-minded posture, and a servant-hearted call to see Christ known and glorified here.

The Basin and Towel exists to help others serve this region better. Through stories, insights, cultural wisdom, and Spirit-led reflection, we aim to paint a real, respectful, and practical picture of what effective, humble mission looks like in the Middle East and North Africa.

We are not theorists—we are practitioners. We live here, serve here, and learn here. And we carry a hope that this space will equip and encourage those sent to this region, as well as those still preparing to come.

This is for the sent ones, the servants, the learners, and the leaders. We believe in going low, staying faithful, and building for eternity.


To Churches, Partners & Supporters

If you’re a church leader, missions partner, or a prayer warrior, this space is for you too. We believe the global Church has a vital role in strengthening the hands of those serving on the ground.

Through this blog, you’ll gain insight into the real needs, opportunities, and rhythms of mission life in the Middle East. Our prayer is that what you read here deepens your prayers, sharpens your support, and strengthens the bond between the field and the body of Christ worldwide.

Let this be a bridge, not just of information, but of intercession and Kingdom partnership. You’re not on the sidelines. You’re standing with us.
