Alma and Amulek concluded their message of repentance to the people of Ammonihah, however, for the most part, they rejected the message. Those who received the gospel were either cast out of the land or, with Alma and Amulek as witnesses, put to death by fire. Following their miraculous release from prison, Alma and Amulek visited those who had been cast out and established a church in the land. Here Zeezrom joined the church and became a powerful missionary.
