CHILDREN’S LESSON ACTIVITY. AMMON THE MISSIONARY “script”ure scene. As children act out the scene where Ammon is tending the king’s sheep. What happened when the robbers came to steal the sheep? Would the shepherds in charge be killed by the king if the sheep were stolen? Yes. So, Ammon went after the robbers and cut off their arms, taking them back to the king to show there were actually robbers. Ammon then became a great missionary as the king was willing to listen.
