You Can Run But You Cannot Hide International (YCRBYCHI) was a United States Christian youth ministry that held assemblies (including music concerts and discussions with students) in public schools. YCRBYCHI's mission statement stated its goal was to "reshape America by re-directing the current and future generations both morally and spiritually through education, media, and the Judeo-Christian values found in our U.S. Constitution."

The ministry received testimonials from school officials and students "that praise the positive impact the assemblies had by stressing the importance of good choices and using a band to grab attention." However, the ministry also attracted controversy for using public school assemblies for religious purposes. Detractors claim the ministry mislead school administrators about the nature of the program and proselytized its views on abortion and homosexuality. The Southern Poverty Law Center designated the organization as an anti-gay hate group in March 2012.
