A British brothel has been turned into a church.
The derelict building in Chatham, Kent, was transformed into an evangelical church by pastors Rhoda and Emmanuel Ikotun.
Emmanuel says residents welcomed the move and former brothel customers are now attending services.
The pastors admitted they had no idea the building was used as a brothel and spent thousands of pounds on renovating it before they were told.
He said: "We didn’t know what it used to be. We were just told it was a massage parlour."

A Russian woman who drank up to 5,000 litres of Coca Cola has sued the company for making her ill.
Natalya Kashuba, 27, has guzzled three litres of the carbonated drink every day for five years and claims she suffers from insomnia and heartburn.
Kashuba said she had become addicted to the drink after a promotional offer allowed people to swap Coca Cola caps for prizes.
Dozens of inflatable mattresses and radios won by the claimant were used as evidence in the court case.
Two Russian courts ruled the soft drinks company failed to warn of the health risks associated with drinking too much Coca Cola.
Kashuba was awarded £62 and is seeking a further £59,000 in "moral damages".

An angry sea lion is attacking US swimmers at a lagoon.
The ferocious animal has bitten at least 14 people and chased 10 others out of the Aquatic Park Lagoon - which is part of the San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park - in California. The area has now been closed temporarily.
Celeste McMullin, who was bitten this week, said: "I was swimming along, and I felt a brush under my feet. And I thought, ‘they feel like whiskers’. So I stopped, and the animal popped up." The victim says the sea lion then continued to bite her until she returned to shore.
Experts have suggested the mammal might have brain damage from toxic algae or is protecting its harem of mates.

A Thai zoo will stage pornography screenings in the hope they will teach a male panda how to mate.

Panda project chief Prasertsak Buntrakoonpoontawee told Reuters: "They don’t know how to mate so we need to show the male how, through videos." "We’ll play the video at the most comfortable and intimate time for him, perhaps after dinner."

Sleepy bears are terrorising a Russian forest because the weather is too warm for them to hibernate.
The dangerous mammals are roaming the forests of the Kemerovo region in Siberia looking for food instead of typically finding homes to hibernate in for the next six months.
Chief expert at a regional environmental agency, Tatiana Maslova, said: "Due to weather conditions, bears didn’t go into the winter sleep in time.
"Our teams are making sure there is no damage to farming and to local residents." The area is being monitored by special inspectors to ensure the bears are not attacking residents or, now the hunting season has started, vulnerable hunters stalking the forests.
The bears usually hibernate in dry places covered in snow and the wet weather means there is a shortage of these habitats.

Australian inventors have created an air-guitar T-shirt.
The garment has inbuilt sensors that pick up the movements of the air guitarists and turn them into guitar rifts via a computer programme.
Engineer Richard Helmer led the research team from the Australian government’s Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation.
He told the BBC: "It’s an easy-to-use, virtual instrument that allows real-time music-making - even by players without significant musical or computing skills.
"It allows you to jump around and the sound generated is just like an original mp3."

The 30p ride, based on popular children’s television programme ‘Postman Pat’, has sat outside Sheryl Granger’s shop in St Mary’s Place retail centre in Leicester for six years.
Owners of the centre now say the ride is an obstruction and poses a threat to shoppers, because they may injure themselves by walking into it.
Granger told Britain’s the Sun newspaper: "You would have to be blind to walk into it - it poses no more danger than a bollard.
