So, people doing missionary work are somehow being selfish?

depends on their motivation, but it can happen

i am not a fan of international mission trips. you can do a lot more, cheaper, and more sustainable here

charity can help the third world, but if often fricks up the third world and leads to a net negative

Eh, maybe. A lot of unreceptive people in a 1st world country.

Also, Christianity probably doesn't care about nationalism, so "America first" may not apply. I too tend to favor relief efforts here, but a lot of these folks don't see it that way and I'm alright with it.
