History
The Mita believe that a woman named Mita, born Juanita García Peraza, was chosen by God like all the prophets were chosen on earth and she became the body, the living incarnation of the Holy Spirit in its third manifestation. First, as the omnipotent father in Jehovah, then in his beloved son Jesus Christ and in its third manifestation with a new name revealed Mita, name of the Holy Spirit of God. According to their beliefs, the Holy Spirit once acted through Mita and anointed Teófilo Vargas Seín (born on October 23, 1921) as the first prophet of God in what they call the new manifestation of God, the third manifestation, the Holy Trinity - the father, son and the Holy Spirit. Mita congregation actually waited 3 days for Juanita García Perazas resurrection after her death, which never happened. After Mitas death there was a division between followers of Aaron and Amos for her succession. According to the church Teófilo Vargas was renamed Aarón and before the date when Juanita García Peraza died in 1970, she called Aarón and by the words of Mita told him to take care of his church and is today the spiritual leader of the Mita's Congregation. The congregation was formed in Arecibo in 1940, but in 1947 the church was relocated to Hato Rey.
