![](images/g_beliefs.gif) According to the group’s web site, "the Mita Church believes the Lord’s Holy Spirit is on earth, that His new name is Mita [i.e., Juanita García Peraza] and that, through Aarón, He governs His Church and guides it through truth and justice towards salvation....It is the continuation of the Primitive Church of the Apostles and Prophets that performs a work of good, acts on faith and is uplifting." The Mita church considers Juanita García Peraza to have been God’s "Instrument and Prophet."
