your hosts

Duncan and Ariane Ritchie have had an affinity with Tasmania since 2003. As Spirit-led Christians, they go where God sends them serving The Kingdom and connecting people to Jesus through the power of the Holy Spirit.
Whilst in Tasmania in 2018, the Anglican Church announced their decision to sell off 55 churches on the Apple Isle. They were the blessed recipients of St Oswald’s Anglican Church which was decommissioned in 2019. It is answered prayer, for the sole mission to create it into a place of refuge, a prayerful haven. Jesus taught all of us that we need a place to withdraw to be re-fuelled by Holy Spirit, The Word and to intensify our intimate relationship with Abba Father.
Be welcomed into St Oswald’s Retreat.
