So thankful that God is in control and that our justice system was effective in making 

the right decision concerning Miles Ferguson. I admire the strength and level of faith

that this young father has shown through a very difficult 2 years.

I live in Horry County SC and have been lifting you up in prayer. I am so sorry for 

your loss and the fact that you are having to deal with this trial. I contacted my 

represent-ative, Dick Elliot, on your behalf hoping he can do something to stop this 

county from persecuting your family. I do NOT support the county's actions and I 

believe in your innocense. I wish I could have been on the Jury. God bless and know you

have many prayers being sent to God above.

Welcome home Miles, Ashley and Gracie! Tears of blessing still fall from my eyes when I think

of your faithfulness to God and His to you through this experience. One of my favorite verses 

is Isaiah 41:13: "I am the Lord your God, who holds your right hand, and I tell you , 'Don't 

be afraid. I will help you." The past two years have been quite a testimony to that verse.

I will continue to hold you in my thoughts, prayers, and in my heart. To God be the Glory!

Miles and Ashley...words can't express how happy I am for you. I am still in awe at how 

awesome our God is and although we don't understand why we have to go through some of the 

stuff that we do we still have the peace in knowing that our God is always in control. Just 

look at the lives that have been touched by your story and just think of how many more there 

are still left to be touched. I love you both and again so happy for you!

From the 1st newscast I heard I did not believe that this young man could have committed such 

a horrible crime. I am so thankful for a God who is Faithful. We don't know the why's, but we

Know He is On the Throne and making decisions that are right for us. Looking forward to seeing

you folks in eternity along with your daughter Miley. Praise the Lord!

I do not know you but one night 24 days ago I woke up to get ready for work God put on my 

heart to do a google for Myrtle Beach That is when I learned of your case I have to tell you 

that God impressed upon me to start praying and fasting for you Which I did for the entire 

time of your trial. 
 
I lost my daughter and wife about 9 and a half years ago I was devastated but by the GRACE 

of God I made it through. I want to tell you never take your eyes off from God He said he 

would never leave you nor forsake you He proved his love on the cross and yet again the other 

day for you.

Like I said earlier I do not know you or your family but as a brother and sister in Christ we

support each other. 
 

May God continue to bless you and yours through this holiday season

Thank God for the truth prevailing in this case. The support this Man had was overwhelming and

touched your heart. It felt good to see God's people gathered for this man's support. Not one

was out of line or in any way anything less than very pleasant to be around. We at the 

government building really enjoyed seeing them and speaking with them for the last two weeks. 

May God continue to bless and keep them all. A situation like this renews your faith in our 

fellow man. 

Take care and God Bless.

Praise the Lord. I have watched this case forl the past two weeks and prayed for this family.

I am so thankful that God reached down and brought his mercy, grace and peace to this family.

I truely believe that Mylee will now rest in peace. God bless you all.

I'm tears with the verdict of this case. My god has again shown up just when we needed him. 

Not done day did I ever think that this man, whose child is named after did anything but to 

help his 5 week old baby. I was avoiding the news for the 2 weeks because I wasn't very sure 

how the people of Horrry county would see this. I know that there has been several cases of 

child abuse in the county, but never did I beleive that this is one. Miles and Ashlee, may the

Lord continue to bless you and your family. Over the weekend there was a movie on lifetime 

with the same situation, however the famiy spent years in prison before being set free. Again 

I would like to say PRAISE THE LORD.

Hi, my name is Tonya Fries and I work at the Courthouse in Conway in the Maintantence 

department. I would like for you to let everyoneknow that you guys had a lot of people there 

on your side!!!!!!!!! 

We would like to say that we are so glad he's on his way back home. Miles's support team was 

awesome. You guys were so friendly and there was a lot of you but you were never in the way. 

Please let the family know how much everyone in the Courthouse prayed for his innocense. 

May GOD BLESS them and maybe they'll be able to get this behind them, grieve and raise that 

beautiful little girl that God has blessed them with.
 


Sincerly,

Hi,

I don't know the Ferguson family, but I live in Myrtle Beach and have been following the trial.

I have tears of joy with the outcome of his trial.  I pray the family will be able to heal 

after this ordeal.  It is encouraging to see the faith of all his supporters.  The Ferguson's 

have an awesome testimony for Jesus Christ and I pray that when they are ready, they will let 

others know how Christ has sustained them thru this trial in their lives.  To HIM be all the 

glory!!!!!  We will never know on this side of heaven why this happened, but I do know that 

Jesus Christ is the answer.  God Bless all of you!

I just want you and your family and friends to know that a lot of us here in Myrtle Beach are 
quite embarrassed by our solicitor's office and their decision to prosecute Miles Ferguson.  
Many of us do not believe he is guilty and wish we could be the decision makers
for him.  Please also know that Miles and Ashley are in my prayers and many other people are 
praying for them too.  We feel that this is a terrible injustice and we sincerely hope that 
Miles is acquitted.
 
God Bless,
