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.

The Mita temples in Puerto Rico and abroad have been built under his leadership and supervision.
