"The opening of the first chapel in Santiago for Foreign Residents is to a number among us an event of no ordinary interest" (Reverend Nathaniel P. Gilbert, p. 5). This pamphlet testifies to Pastor Trumball's preaching in Chile. The Foreign Evangelical Society asked young Yale student David Trumball to attend to the spiritual needs of the English-speaking community based in the city of Valparaiso. Trumbull accepted and arrived to Chile in 1845. Upon his arrival, the authorities prohibited him from preaching on Chilean territory. Thus, he preached his first sermon from the deck of the ship that took him to Valparaiso. "The founder of the Presbyterian Church in Chile was not the first Protestant clergyman to work in the country. However, as the historian, Fr. Ignacio Vergara, put it, he was destined to be 'the first Protestant missionary to establish a stable work in Chile and have great influence on the events of his time'" (McKennie Goodpasture, David Trumbull: Missionary Journalist and Liberty in Chile, 1845-1889, Journal of Presbyterian History, Vol. 56, No. 2, 1978, p. 149).
