With solemn condolences from all of us in memory of Dr. Terrence Stone, Dean Emeritus, the 1st Dean of Students (2011) of The Word of God International University, our faithful Associate Professor of Hermeneutics, Biblical Counseling, Old Testament Survey, and Apologetics...

Dr. Stone, who recently received from us a Doctor of Theology, Th.D., in Family Counseling with an emphasis on dysfunction in the Black family, went on to "Glory", early Sunday morning, September 30, 2015. We pay our respect to his wife, Bishop Gwen Coates Stone, son, daughter, grand-daughter, family, their church, and friends for his wonderful life of outstanding accomplishments, not only being a tremendously intelligent and faithful man of God, but his contributions to the lives of many who were taught and counseled by him over his life in the church and in education. He had a passion for encouraging mental health in the African American community.

Friday, August 28, 2015, Dr George Hooks, a student of Dr. Stone and colleague, honored him with a "Tribute." On Saturday, August 29, 2015, Terrence Stone received a Doctor in Theology. He was working on a Ph.D. in Biblical Counseling, focusing a The History of Biblical Dysfunction and the Adamic Influence on Families Today. In the forefront of his life's journey was his interest to complete his dissertation and book, graduating in August of 2016. He has now graduated into eternity with the Lord!

We will greatly miss him and extend the loving comfort of God to all who were close to him, family, church members, and friends. May God keep you in perfect peace...

Dr. Joshua and Evangelist Sherilyn Smith
