Mica Miller’s pastor widower lashed out at former members of his collapsed church in a bizarre letter just days before he married a new woman.
John-Paul Miller, 44, raged ‘nobody has hurt me or sinned against me as horrible as you’ in the biblical rant, dated May 28, printed out and mailed to his enemies.
The letter was written just four days before he married Suzie Skinner, 50, on the sands of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, on June 1.
Suzie is his third wife with the wedding little over a year after Mica, 30, was found dead in Lumbee River State Park in North Carolina on April 27, 2024.
She had suffered a self-inflicted gunshot wound, days after filing for divorce from Miller.
John-Paul has been mired in controversy since, and is accused of driving Mica to suicide with infidelity and psychological abuse, which he denies.
He stood down as pastor from his church, Solid Rock Ministries, weeks after her death as it was picketed almost daily by protestors.
The church was shut down after the FBI raided his home in November and its building stripped of its contents and sold for $2.1 million in February.
Miller appears to blame much of the saga on several of his former flock whom he named in the latter obtained by the Daily Mail.

‘Greetings my former friends,’ he began. ‘I’m sure you are aware of all the Hell that I have been going through since, and even before, my wife passed away.
‘My goal is to remain as healthy as I can in my soul, so when the enemy attacks, I strive to handle it in Biblical fashion.’
Miller wrote that Matthew chapter 18 in the Bible told him to go to brothers and sisters in Christ who sinned against him to ‘win them back and forgive’.
‘Out of every single event that has taken place, and every single person that has been in my life – nobody has hurt me or sinned against me as horrible as you,’ he wrote.
Miller claimed he was writing to the recipients to ‘help heal my soul and in order to help me forgive what you have done’.
‘I have lost my children, 750 friends and church members, finances, health, and my wife passed away (though she is not lost, I know where she is),’ he wrote.
‘And out of everything that has happen (sic), I am only devastated and hurt by.. you.’
Before the fallout from Mica’s death, Solid Rock Ministries attracted hundreds of worshippers on Sundays and at other services.
That had dwindled to just 50 by the time of Miller’s short-lived attempt to reboot it as Mercy Church at the start of this year in the stripped-bare building.

The building was sold to a property developer, which flipped in for $2.6 million in April to Market Common Community Church, which is not connected to Miller.
Miller’s letter continued to play the victim, lambasting his enemies for betraying him after all his did for them, and skipping Mica’s funeral.
‘I thought you were saved. I thought you were New Testament Christians. I thought you had integrity. I thought you loved Jesus and His body. I thought you loved me and my wife,’ he wrote.
‘We served you… the very best that we could for several years. We gave to you, spoke highly of you, prayed for you, and did all we could to lead you closer to Jesus.
‘Yet you did not have the decency to even attend my wife’s funeral.
‘You turned your back on me and the body of our Lord Jesus Christ, without even communicating a reason.
‘You believed the lies of the world over the truth of the Bible. You assumed the worse (sic) when Love is supposed to believe the best.’
Miller repeated his complaint about Mica’s funeral as the letter continued in a tone that did not suggest healing or forgiveness were imminent.
‘I have never known a friend who claims to be a Christian, to do such horrible things to another friend,’ he wrote.
‘My wife served… for years and you couldn’t even show up and pay your respects at her funeral. I considered you one of my closest and best friends and when I needed you the most, you disowned me.
‘God forbid one of… ever lose his wife and have the person he expected to be there for him, walk away.’

Miller, who has never admitted any responsibility for Mica’s death and denied claims he ‘groomed’ her as a teen, again protested his innocence.
‘I have done nothing wrong in all of this concerning my wife and my church and my friendship to you,’ he insisted.
‘And even if you could find something, Galatians 6:1 says that we are to help gently restore those who fall. Not walk away and never speak to them again.’
Miller is frequently critical of media coverage of Mica’s death, his legal troubles since, and revelations about his personal life, along with far greater condemnation on social media from true crimes fans and protesters.
‘I know my wife is in Heaven, and I know I did everything a man can do to save her life, while she was on earth (sic),’ he wrote.
‘But the fact that you would allow gossip, tik tok (sic), internet, worldly news, and who knows what else – guide your steps and life over the Holy Word of God – makes me question if you were ever saved in the first place.
‘All I can say is, me nor Mica would’ve EVER done that to you or your family.
‘If you have lost… no matter what the world said about you, we would’ve stuck by you as long as and as much as you needed.’

Despite the scathing language in his latter, Miller closed by claiming he had forgiven the recipients and brazenly offered an olive branch.
‘As of today… I forgive you and release you to God. I will never speak ill of you and I will never, ever treat you the way you treated me,’ he wrote.
‘I will ALWAYS be available if you or your family ever needs anything, regardless of how you wronged myself and Mica. God bless.’
Exactly whom the letter was sent to is unclear as it began with ‘greetings my former friends’ and ‘I thought you were Christians’ but was largely written in singular address.
Other than skipping Mica’s funeral, the letter is also vague about how the subjects of Miller’s rage supposedly wronged him.
The FBI has, seven months later, still not explained why it raided Miller’s home, or whether it related to Mica’s death or one of his various legal issues.
Also unknown is if the federal investigation is still ongoing and if the ‘former friends’ Miller wrote to are connected to it.

Miller and Suzie tied the knot at an intimate beach ceremony on June 1, given there was no church to use.
None of their combined seven children bothered to show up, according to witnesses.
Miller’s first ex-wife Alison Williams divorced Miller in 2015 after discovering he was having an affair with Mica, whom he married in 2018.
She filed a petition for sole custody of their children last June that included shocking claims about his sex life.
Suzie Skinner also lost her previous spouse, Chris Skinner, 41, who drowned when his wheelchair rolled into a neighborhood pool in Myrtle Beach on September 6, 2021.
Although no foul play was initially suspected in Chris’s case, Horry County Chief Deputy Coroner Tamara Willard reopened the case in March after mysterious ‘new evidence regarding the manner of death’ came to light.
Williams’ affidavit claimed Suzie and Miller were having an affair in 2021 and Skinner confronted Miller about it two weeks before drowned.
Skinner’s sister Tamra McDermott admitted to the Daily Mail that he may have taken his own life due to the effect the alleged affair had on his state of mind.
CCTV footage from the pool showed Skinner’s motorized wheelchair accelerate straight into the pool without turning or slowing down.
Strapped to his wheelchair and with no one in the pool area to help, he drowned and wasn’t found until almost an hour later.

It’s not known if Miller’s alleged 2021 affair with Suzie ended before Mica’s death, but the two were seen cozily drinking at a bar soon after Miller was widowed.
Miller repeatedly denied he was in a relationship with Suzie in the weeks and months after Mica’s death, despite people around them insisting they were.
Suzie finally admitted their relationship in January as part of one of the several legal dramas Miller is embroiled with.
Miller was accused in a lawsuit this month of raping a 15-year-old girl in 1998 while working at his father’s church in Myrtle Beach when he was 19.
The accuser – anonymized as ‘Jane Doe’ – claimed Miller sexually assaulted her again more than two decades later in 2023 by forcibly grabbing her genitals in public without her consent.
The woman claimed the most recent alleged attack ‘triggered repressed memories’ of the incident from 1998, of which she previously had ‘no conscious recollection.’
Miller strongly denied the allegations and launched a counter-suit for defamation against the woman, claiming she also posted the allegations on social media, causing him ‘irreparable harm, damage and injury.’
Days later a second woman, known as ‘Jane Doe #2’, sued him and his father Reginald Miller for sexual abuse between 1999 and 2001 starting when she was 14.

Mica contacted police several times in the months preceding her suicide to level allegations against her husband, including claims he ‘groomed’ her when she was a teenager.
Mica and Miller initially split on September 20, 2023, before the divorce was dismissed on February 13.
Later that same month Miller filed against his wife for separate support and maintenance in a motion withdrawn March 11.
But on April 15, just 12 days before she was found dead, Mica filed for divorce once more and sought a no contact order against her husband.
Autopsy results, including a muzzle imprint and gunpowder residue on her head, later confirmed she took her own life, and found no drugs or alcohol in her blood.
However, Miller is accused in court documents of grooming Mica for years before they wed, committing her to hospital to steal her car, and cheating on his first wife with underage churchgoers.
Miller has vehemently denied any allegations of grooming and abuse. He has also previously suggested Mica suffered from mental illness and had attempted suicide on more than one occasion.
