Teófilo Vargas Seín is the leader of the Mita Congregation, a Christian church based in Puerto Rico.

He was born on October 23, 1921, to parents Don Pedro Vargas and Concepción Seín, who were active in the local Pentecostal church.

He became an early follower of Juanita García Peraza, founder of the Mita Congregation, and was one of her original 11 followers. He became an active preacher at a young age.

In 1970, when Juanita García Peraza died, Aaron assumed the leadership of the Mita People. Under his leadership, there has been a great expansion of Mita's Work in Puerto Rico, the United States, the Dominican Republic, Canada, Curaçao, Colombia, Venezuela, Costa Rica, Panama, El Salvador and Mexico. The Mita temples in Puerto Rico and abroad have been built under his leadership and supervision. He founded the Colegio Congregación Mita (Congregación Mita School), the El Paraíso Shelter and Institution, and the Office for Counseling and Social Assistance.
