Global Partners
At Evergreen Heights, we partner with MB Mission in supporting missionaries who are sharing the gospel of hope in Jesus Christ with people all over the world.
We support and engage in ongoing relationships with the following Global Workers:
Joanna (Pharazyn) & Jonathan Gutierrez: Portugal
Joanna is from Woodstock, Ontario and Jonathan from South Texas. They met after Joanna had been serving in Portugal for 3 years. After getting married and welcoming Valin into their family they returned to Portugal. Joanna and Jonathan provide leadership to a local church family in the community of Massama. Jonathan´s love for making a good cup of coffee, provides a space that brings people together. Joanna leads the logistics of the church activities and teachings. Together they serve in this community as a listening ear, ready to pray and serve. They see their roles as disciples of Jesus, inviting others to come and join them in walking with Jesus, under His Lordship.

They both attended and graduated from Steinbach Bible College, with degrees in Youth Ministry and Global Missions. This is where they met, and then were married in 2013.
