Introduction
By Evangelist Rev. David Hupp, HIS Print Media Ministries
In the Message Bible, the Apostle Paul writes, regarding
God’s desire and his evangelism efforts: I Timothy 2:4-7;
Titus 2:11
He wants not only us but everyone saved, you know, everyone to get to know the truth we’ve learned: that there’s one
God and only one, and one Priest-Mediator between God
and us—Jesus, who offered himself in exchange for everyone held captive by sin, to set them all free. Eventually the
news is going to get out.
This and this only has been my appointed work: getting this
news to those who have never heard of God, and explaining
how it works by simple faith and plain truth.
God’s readiness to give and forgive is now public. Salvation’s available for everyone!
This last verse reads, in the Living Bible: For the free gift of
eternal salvation is now being offered to everyone...
The New Living Translation adds (Titus 3:4-7):
But—When God our Savior revealed His kindness and love,
He saved us, not because of the righteous things we had
done, but because of His mercy. He washed away our sins,
giving us a new birth and new life through the Holy Spirit.
He generously poured out the Spirit upon us through Jesus
Christ our Savior. Because of His grace He declared us
righteous and gave us confidence that we will inherit eternal
life.
Jesus Christ Himself gave his followers a great commission to take the good news of the free gift of eternal life
through personal faith and trust in Him, to all the inhabited
earth (Matthew 28:18,19):
Jesus came and told His disciples, “I have been given all
authority in heaven and on earth.
Matt. 28:19 Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son
and the Holy Spirit.”

Today, Christianity is one of the world’s largest religions,
19,000 new believers are being added to the church each
day, in spite of severe persecution. However, 23,000 babies
are being born each day, and Islam (probably due to their
higher number of children per family), is the fastest growing
religion. In the mid 1990’s, Islam was the second largest
and fastest growing religion in America!
What we can learn from this is, relying primarily on big
Evangelists or big ministries to get the job done, is not the
most effective method. Each individual Christian needs to
be winning souls. In 1974, in a class at Miracle Valley Bible
College, I learned that if each of the fifty students in that
classroom were to win one soul per year, and train that new
convert to win a new soul each succeeding year, in less than
fifty years the whole world would be won to Christ. This
kind of exponential growth can be categorized by the
scientific principle of Synergism.
Webster’s Dictionary defines this word as follows:
interaction of discrete agencies (as industrial firms), agents
(as drugs), or conditions such that the total effect is greater
than the sum of the individual effects.
A simple story illustrates this. A wise man of the Orient did
a favor for the Emperor. When asked how he could be repaid, he requested for a grain of rice to be placed on the corner square of a chess board, and the amount of rice placed
on each succeeding square to be doubled. The amount of
rice to be placed on the last square of the game board would
be astronomical or far more than one would imagine.
I like the saying, “Each one win one, then all will be won!”
Larry Beckmann’s anointed soul winning plan provides us
the tools and method to accomplish this.

Forward by Prince Handley
About 35 years ago, I had the privilege to ordain into the
ministry, a man who without a doubt, was the greatest personal
soul winner of the last 100 years. His name was Reverend
Larry Beckmann; and he was the recipient, posthumously, of
the World Services® University of Excellence Honorary Doctorate for excellence in personal evangelism and discipleship.
Larry came to Bible studies I taught where many high school
and college students attended. I also had the privilege to pray
for him to receive the Baptism in the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues. A few minutes later he was leading a man to Christ at a liquor store next door. Reverend Beckmann kept a detailed daily log, or diary, of the people he led to
Christ.
From the day Christ came into Larry’s heart on May 2, 1964
until June 9, 1996, during that 32 years, he personally prayed
with 170,336 people to receive Christ. In one city alone (Atlanta, Georgia) 60,347 people prayed with him to receive Christ.
In just a five year period, one married couple Larry trained in
soul-winning, in Atlanta, prayed with an additional 8,000 people to receive Christ.
These are the greatest MIRACLES: people experiencing
Christ! It is with GREAT JOY that I share with you the tool which
the Holy Spirit had Larry prepare for the Body of Christ before
he went to Heaven: “God’s Anointed Soul-Winning Plan.” This
is the plan he used to lead people to Christ.
Why is this plan entitled “God’s Anointed Soul-Winning
Plan?” The answer lies in the meaning of the word “anointed.”
Pastor Mel Amrine wisely said: “The proof of whether a plan is
anointed or not is in the results it gets.” You can have
ten soul-winning plans with all ten of them full of Bible verses;
nine of them see only a few results, but the tenth plan sees
enormous results. It is the plan that sees enormous results
which is anointed.
In a period of just 11 years before Larry Beckmann went to
Heaven, the Lord used this plan to lead more than 100,000
people to pray and receive Christ as Savior. Virtually everyone
who uses it sees tremendous results.

The Plan
NOTE: This is not a tract. This is a tool for soul-winners.
Only read what is printed in red to the people with whom you
witness. The first two times you read this, read it exactly as
written. Do not let Satan trick you into believing you’ll look
foolish reading this. Because of the anointing on this plan,
the person you are witnessing to will listen!
Pardon me, may I ask you a question?
I’m a Christian and I’m taking a survey; can you listen
for about three minutes?
You believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Is that
true?
Nine in ten Americans believe this much. This will vary from
country to country. If the person does not believe this, END
the survey. Then SOW SOME SEED to help him/her come
to Christ at a FUTURE time.
Don’t stop reading in the MIDDLE of these next two questions – read them through to the end.
Have you ever met Christ personally, where He has come
into your heart as Savior?
You’ve never met Christ personally, have you?
NEVER ask: “Are you a Christian?” NEVER ask: “Are you
saved?” Why? Because almost EVERYBODY says “Yes”
to either of these two questions. And once they say “Yes”
you can’t win them to Christ. The previous two questions
lead them into a “No” answer. However, if they are saved,
these questions are written in such a way that you will be
able to read to them and see if they are saved.
I advise you to MEMORIZE this next statement—and then
use it for the rest of your life as you witness.
It’s simple to get Jesus into your heart.

The first thing to realize is that Christ LOVES you. When
He hung on the cross He died for YOU. He died in your
place.
John 3:16 NLT (Read it or say it to them . . . best to let them
look at it in the Bible with you.)
“For God loved the world so much that He gave His one and
only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.”
Do you know why He died for you on that cross?
So you wouldn’t have to go to HELL and burn forever.
Look at my finger . . . how many sins does it take to put you
into Hell, according to the Bible?
(Hold up one finger.)
Just ONE. James 2:10 teaches that.
Everybody has sinned. You’ve sinned.
(Read or say Romans 3:23 to them - best to let them look at
it in the Bible with you.)
For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious
standard. NLT
Which means, if you died tonight in a car wreck without
Christ, you would be in Hell.
And that’s the reason I stopped you. Because it is very
easy to protect you from Hell.
Of course, I can’t protect you from Hell, but God can.
If you’re a good person, will you go to Heaven?
No! Ephesians 2:8 says that being good doesn’t even help.
(Read it or say it to them . . . best to let them look at it in the
Bible with you.)
Eph 2:8 NLT God saved you by His grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God.
Church, baptism, believing—none of these [good works]
can save you.
6
The devil BELIEVES that Jesus is God, and the devil is
NOT going to Heaven. Believing is only the first step.
HERE’S THE ANSWER!! To get to Heaven you must let
Jesus come into your heart.
Revelation 3:20 NLT (Read it or say it to them . . . best to let
them look at it in the Bible with you.)
In Revelation 3:20 Jesus says, “Look! I stand at the door
and knock. If you hear My voice and open the door, I will
come in, and we will share a meal together as friends.”
Be honest, do you WANT to let Jesus come into your heart?
Because you LOVE Him, right?
And you don’t want to go to Hell.
And you need Him.
In order to be saved from Hell, you must REPENT! That is,
TURN from wanting Christ only partially . . . to wanting Him
100%. Are you willing to turn from your sins?
Do you want Jesus to come into your heart as a FRIEND?
Now, I’m going to make it real hard for you. Do you want
Jesus as a friend with ALL your heart?
Don’t pray with them unless they are 100% sure.
If you mean this prayer, you won’t have to go to Hell.
Just repeat [this prayer] after me.
Jesus, I believe You are here. (PAUSE) I’m sorry for my
sins. (PAUSE) And you promised to save me from Hell if I
would ask you into my heart. (PAUSE) So I ask you, Jesus
. . . please come into my heart right now.
He heard your prayer . . . He is in your heart NOW!
Did you really mean that prayer?
So . . . where is Jesus living right now?
In your heart!
Do you have to ask Jesus into your heart every day to go
7
to Heaven, or just once?
Just once. Once does it. You pray every day. You pray
hundreds of times. You confess your sins every day. But you
only let Jesus come into your heart once.
Now . . . let’s do a little review. Are you saved?
Yes! You just got saved. Don’t base your salvation on
FEELINGS. Most people don’t feel anything when they get
saved. Base it on what the Bible says.
Does the Bible say you’re saved?
More than 100 verses say you are saved. For example,
John 1:12 says you are saved, and Revelation 3:20 says
you are saved. More than 100 verses assure you.
If you have time to read these two example verses, here
they are from the Living Bible:
John 1:12 - But all who received him, he gave the right to
become children of God. All they needed to do was to trust
him to save them.
Revelation 3:20 - “Look! I have been standing at the door
and I am constantly knocking. If anyone hears me calling
him and opens the door, I will come in and fellowship with
him and he with me.”
(Question) And what did you do that saved you?
(Answer) You let Jesus come into your heart.
Write down five scripture references on a piece of paper
for them to read later (or, you can have them preprinted).
These verses are helpful to give them added assurance of
their salvation when doubt comes. These are the scriptures
to write down:
• John 1:12
• Romans 10:9,10 & 13.
• Revelation 3:20
• 1 John 5:12
• Ephesians 2:8-10

There are four things God wants you to DO now that you
are saved.
#1. Find a Church home. (Recommend a good power church
to them).
#2. Read the Holy Bible every day. Don’t start in the front
of the Bible, because Jesus wasn’t born yet. The first book,
Genesis, was 4,000 years before Jesus was born. Begin
by reading MATTHEW, MARK, LUKE, and JOHN. These
four books quote Jesus’ words hundreds of times, and show
what the Holy Spirit did through Him. Then read the Book
of Acts to see exciting things the Holy Spirit does through
Christians.
#3. Pray. Talk to Jesus many times each day . . . whenever
you want. He’s your BEST FRIEND.
#4. Tell others about Jesus. Try to tell several people today
and tomorrow that you let Jesus come into your heart.
Not only will this challenge others to get saved, but it will
STRENGTHEN YOU greatly.
Write down the person’s name, address, E-mail address (if
any), and telephone number so either you or a church can
FOLLOW UP with them.

The Five Assurance of Salvation
Bible References
John 1:12 Living Bible
But all who received him, he gave the right to become children of God. All they needed to do was to trust him to save
them.
Romans 10:9-10,13 New Living Translation
If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe
in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be
saved.
For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right
with God, and it is by confessing with your mouth that you
are saved.
For “Everyone who calls on the name of the LORD will be
saved.”
Revelation 3:20 New Living Translation, Jesus speaking
“Look! I stand at the door and knock. If you hear My voice
and open the door, I will come in, and we will share a meal
together as friends.”
1 John 5:12 New Living Translation
Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have God’s
Son does not have life.
Ephesians 2:8-10 New Living Translation
God saved you by His grace when you believed. And you
can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God.
Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done,
so none of us can boast about it.
For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in
Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things He planned for
us long ago.

A “Cut to the Chase” Question
“Where is God in your life—on the inside,
or just on the outside; and, if He isn’t
on the inside, wouldn’t you like to pray
and get Him in?”

Your Prayerful Response
“Dear Father God, I thank you for making me your child,
and for giving me eternal life as a free gift, through your
Son Jesus Christ when I invited Him into my heart as Lord
and Savior. I know you desire to do this for everyone,
and that you need my help. As your prophet, Isaiah, said,
‘Here I am, use me!’ By your perfect love, deliver me from
every hindering fear I have about witnessing and using this
Anointed Soul Winning Plan. I now receive your anointing,
love, and boldness to be an effective soul winner. Give me
your heart for the least, the last, the lost. As I go out, enable
me to walk in demonstration of your Holy Spirit and power
as did your servant Larry Beckmann, and those who walked
in Bible days. Anoint me to effectively use your Anointed
Soul Winning Plan as described to me in this booklet. Make
divine appointments for me for winning souls each day. Give
me boldness to speak your truth in love. I know that I am
asking this in your will; I know that you are hearing me now,
and that you will answer. By faith, I receive the answer, for
I ask it in Jesus’ name.
Pro 28:1 NLT the godly are as bold as lions.
Heb 13:5b,6 NLT For God has said, “I will never fail you. I
will never abandon you.”
So we can say with confidence, “The LORD is my helper, so
I will have no fear. What can mere people do to me?”
“Lord lay some soul upon my heart, and lead that soul to me;
then help me, Lord, to do my part, to win that soul for thee!”
Proverbs 11:30 KJV The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life;
and he that winneth souls is wise.
Daniel 12:3 NLT Those who are wise will shine as bright
as the sky, and those who lead many to righteousness will
shine like the stars forever.
