In short, no. The priority for those of the faith is clearly laid out:
1. Your family, included extended family. You are expected to take widows and fools back in, if they are relatives.
2. The church family, particularly the indigent and old.
3. The wider church family, Paul was collecting monies to help those in Jerusalem from the gentlies, for instance. This would include missionary work (of which aid work is a part).
4. The wider community, generally local, generally practical.

In emergencies we should help via the local people and local church whenever possible. Aid agencies increase dependancy.

Is it wrong to favor your own children over children in Africa? If you feed your own children while faraway children starve, are you claiming that the faraway children are unworthy of God’s love? Or are the two completely orthogonal?

Charity begins at home. If you turn New Zealand into a third world nightmare, is that Christian? Funny how “Christians” are always telling us to sell our own children and neighbors down the river to increase the wealth and power of left wing atheists who hate them.

There’s nothing Christian about declaring war on your neighbors.
