Many of my encounters with celebrities are "on the street” (trying to meet them before or after an event).
In some cases, that is at a hotel, airport, backstage door, premiere, book signing, etc.
Most encounters, though, are at pop culture conventions where people pay to meet the celebrity (usually in exchange for an autograph or photo). This is great because it is a guarantee that a meeting with a celebrity will happen. Some of the best conversations and quality time I have had were at these conventions.
However, that guarantee and quality time comes at a high price. Each celebrity charges a set price in order to walk up to their table and meet them. The prices for each celebrity vary depending on their fame or demand.
Because of the high price of these meet and greets, I was limited in getting to have these Gospel conversations.
That’s where great supporters like you come in!
If you decide to support one of these celebrity meetings, you will receive the autograph that’s obtained at the signing (your choice of 8x10 image provided by the celebrity’s management team), as well as live updates and immediate messages on how the meeting went and their response to the Gospel!
Thank you for supporting this ministry and getting the Gospel to those who are known, yet forgotten!
Below is a list of different pop culture events I will be attending within the coming months.
Beside their name, I am also including any questions or statements they have publicly said about God, Jesus, religion, spirituality, or eternity.
I will NOT include celebrities I am waiting outside events, hotels, airports, backstage doors, etc.
The only reason this option is available with these conventions is because I have to make an autograph purchase in order to witness them.
These names will constantly be updating, so please check back and pray about which soul God lays on your heart to support.
If you have any questions, please feel free to email CelebrityEvangelist@yahoo.com
Here is your opportunity to sponsor a personalized Bible for a celebrity.
Your donation will go towards the cost of the Bible as well as the embossing fee.
You will receive an email notifying you of who the Bible is going to so that you can be praying for that soul to have a softened heart. The number of Bibles that were sponsored before yours will determine how quickly you will receive your email (usually within 4-6 weeks).
When we make the post of how the encounter went, you will get a shoutout on our social media platforms as an additional thank you for partnering with us.
Thank you for helping get the Gospel to those who are known, yet forgotten!
I am giving a gift to anyone who sponsors 3 or more Bibles in the next 4 weeks (by June 9 2025).
There are two gift options:
1. An autograph from my collection (list to be provided once you’ve sponsored 3 or more Bibles)
2. A Christian book bundle of some great Christian literature from my library (list of book options will be provided after sponsorship)
For every Bible sponsored, you will receive a message of who your Bible is going to, as well as a thank you shoutout on our social media.

During an interview in 2003, Grey was asked, "I read somewhere that you had a quite strict religious upbringing, you said goodbye to religion for some time, but now you're going to church again. Why did you go back? Wasn't it hard to forget the things that made you leave, like disappointment maybe?"
Her reply was, "It's true... It did take me a while to get over uhm, just such a staunch upbringing, such a strict upbringing. But the church I go to now is a little bit... See, my parents are Pentecostal, which is very, very strict and I couldn't listen to music or you know, wear pants, or anything, but it's... See, I'm always in a dress, you can't..., you know, I can't change my stripes now , they beat it into me, so... But it's more comfortable to wear a dress actually, I found, but uhm... Yeah, I took a little break from church for a while, but our church is so accepting now, the one that we go to, I mean... It's definitely based on, you know, definitely strong faith but not as much judgement as what I grew up with, so... I..., we're able to..., we actually play instruments at church, you know, we play..., we play some Gospel music. But sometimes we get a little, get a little down and dirty and it's o.k.! So I'm happy to be back!"

In 2019 while promoting her new book, she stated, "Life is so strange. Absolutely! Life just gets stranger. On that note, yeah, I am going to say life is very strange. It does get stranger. There’s no explanation to it. I can’t explain it. I’ve read Freud and Einstein and therapy and psychology and philosophy and religions – and I don’t have a clue. I can’t say. But I do know one thing. Music makes the world go round. Not money. Music. Music will always make the world go round. I think they should filter music on the streets and filter music through treetops – and things would change."

In 2023, Zach told Your Voice Heard, “I grew up Jewish ... my grandparents were Holocaust survivors and my roots run really strong in that faith. For the longest time, it felt like it (leading with faith) was always there, but I never knew how to acknowledge it. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve started to acknowledge that I’m so lucky to even be here. It’s clear that its for a reason, and I don’t know what that reason is, all I know is that I’ve started to ‘download things from the universe’ and it’s clear that they’re not even mine, that they’re just given to me.”

"Dylan kept me updated every step of the way, even texting while he was in line to meet
Mr. Galligan.
This gave me the chance to pray for Dylan as he presented the actor with a Bible and material explaining how to accept Christ."

"Although it is a treat to receive an autograph, the much greater reward and joy is knowing that these souls were able to hear the Gospel message.
It is my prayer that he
will one day come to accept the Lord Jesus Christ."
-Jamie Robinson
"I recently had the opportunity to donate to Dylan Novak's mission work to evangelize to celebrities.
Mr. Novak had the chance to meet Zach Galligan, the star of the 80' s movie Gremlins, one of my family's favorites.
Dylan kept me updated every step of the way, even texting while he was in line to meet Mr Galligan.
This gave me the chance to pray for Dylan as he presented the actor with a Bible and material explaining how to accept Christ.
As someone who grew up appreciative of entertainment, I also have always been drawn to pray for the salvation of the people who brought a little happiness to our lives. Unfortunately much of our entertainment involves the promotion of a self-centered culture, and a lack of Christian moral values.
As a child it brought me to tears to think that any of my favorite entertainers might be on a fast track to Hell.
At a young age I felt a calling to pray for the lost and anyone I was uncertain of their spiritual state.
When I found out about Dylan's mission work I knew I had found someone who had a similar calling and was using opportunities available to him as a way to evangelize.
Overall I appreciate the chance to support Dylan in his work doing something that I would love to do myself if given the chance, and look forward to supporting future missions.
"For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth." (1 Timothy 2 : 3-4)."
Harry Grillo
"When I first heard about Dylan Novak’s ministry of sharing the Gospel with celebrities on his
Instagram page, my heart leapt with joy. I myself have had a passion for communicating the truths of
Christ to Hollywood, and was often discouraged seeing many of my favorite celebrities die, not knowing
whether they had come to true saving faith.
Dylan’s ministry gave me inspiration, as I was also someone who frequently attended comic cons and have met my share of celebrities. His boldness inspired me to send Christian material to both Dylan Sprouse and Julie Newmar, the later of whom responded back to me in a Facebook message, confirming that she received the material and was deeply appreciative.
I felt a kindred spirit in Dylan, and the Lord laid it on my heart to financially support his ministry and help him fund two trips, one to Matthew Lillard, the other to John Glover, both of whom, I’m told, were
extremely warm and receptive.
Although it is a treat to receive an autograph, the much greater reward
and joy is knowing that these souls were able to hear the Gospel message. It is my prayer that they
will one day come to true saving faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
I have great respect for Dylan and the Kingdom work he is doing, and I am glad to partner with him in ministry and pray that the Lord will continue to bless his evangelistic efforts."
Jamie Robinson
“It was such a blessing to come across Dylan’s ministry page on social media and see the work he is doing for the Lord. So many celebrities have gotten to hear about Jesus through him.
Dustin Diamond was one of the first pictures I came across and I remember thinking how awesome it was to see Dylan sharing Jesus with him, especially considering Saved by the Bell has always been my favorite show.
Dustin had even shared the picture and thanked Dylan for the book he had given him. Even though the Holy Spirit is the only one who can convict someone’s heart, all of us who follow Christ have a duty to tell people about the Gospel.
Dylan has a very unique ministry and I would highly encourage people to financially support the wonderful work he is doing! I am grateful for the chance to support him and I encourage everyone to regularly keep his ministry in their prayers as well!”
