How do these abilities interact? Would I gain boons from sentinel or evangelist?
Obedient Champion
At 3rd level, the divine champion gains Deific Obedience as a bonus feat, even if he doesn’t meet the feat’s prerequisites. When a divine champion gains boons from this feat, he gains the appropriate sentinel boon offered by his deity, rather than gaining the exalted boon.
Divine Boon
As the evangelist gains levels, she gains boons from her chosen deity. The nature of these boons varies depending on the evangelist’s chosen deity. Each deity grants three boons, each more powerful than the last. At 3rd level, the evangelist gains the first boon. At 6th level, she gains the second boon, and at 9th level, she gains the third boon. Consult the Deific Obedience feat for details on divine boons. When a divine boon grants a spell-like ability, the evangelist’s caster level for the spell-like ability equals her total character level. This ability allows an evangelist to access these boons earlier than with the Deific Obedience feat alone; it does not grant additional uses of the boons once the character reaches the necessary Hit Dice to earn the boons normally.
Deific Obedience
Certain prestige classes gain access to these boons at lower levels as a benefit of their prestige class. If you have no levels in one of these prestige classes, you gain the boons marked as exalted boons. If you later take levels in sentinel or evangelist, you lose access to the exalted boons and gain access to the new boons appropriate to your class. If you ever fail to perform a daily obedience, you lose all access to the benefits and boons granted by this feat until you next perform the obedience.
You start out with no levels in prestige class, so it defaults to exalted, which is then overridden by the archetype. Then the Evangelist prestige class overrides whatever boons the existing feat gave (now Sentinel) to become Evangelist boons. End result: Evangelist.

That's what I thought. Really wanted to get the sentinel boons earlier than 12/16/20 without losing spell casting levels.
/sigh
I could see an argument that you get both, since the exalted boons are a feature of your base class (which the evangelist advances). This is a VERY liberal reading of the rules though, so i definitely wouldn't push a GM with this. Also even if it does work you wouldn't get them early.
If this is a home game you could talk to the GM about letting the evangelist PrC give you exalted boons instead of the evangelist boons with this character.
Take Diverse Obedience feat and you can choose which boons you get.
