Jesus was preaching in synagogues until he was banned. He preached from a boat, on a mountain side, in people's homes and in a temple of Jerusalem. He did not have a church to preach in. He said his body was his temple. The rabbis of his day had synagogues. The chief priests had their sacrificial altar and temple in Jerusalem. The son of man had no place to lay his head. He and his disciples were in a camp in the garden of Gethsemane the night of his arrest.Jesus only built one Church and it is 2000 years old. The Catholic Church has spread his message to every nation on earth. 1.2 billion strong and growing by the 10s of millions each year.
The Protestants and Orthodox trace their heritage to Jesus and eleven of the twelve disciples. These are close to 50% of the global Christian population according to the Pew Research Centers.
The Catholic Church does not have many in North Korea. The government imprisoned those who tried to preach to all nations. There are not many Catholics in Saudi Arabia and other sharia law nations. The Saudis do not allow their citizens to leave Islam under threat of imprisonment, torture, deportation and execution. Foreign born preachers were quickly deported.
