You Can Run But You Cannot Hide International

You Can Run But You Cannot Hide International is a United States Christian youth ministry that holds assemblies, including music concerts and discussions with students, in public schools. Founded by Bradlee Dean in 2008, the organization is based in Annandale, Minnesota. YCRBYCHI's mission statement is: "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 has 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", but has also drawn controversy for using assemblies for religious purposes, misleading school administrators about the nature of the program, and proselytizing its views on abortion and homosexuality. The Southern Poverty Law Center designated the organization as an anti-gay hate group in March 2012.In September 2013, the You Can Run headquarters building in Annandale was put up for rent and there were reports of departures of the ministry's staff and the disbanding of its street teams.Ministry activitiesJunkyard ProphetYCRBYCHI is centered around the Christian rapcore-nu metal band Junkyard Prophet, featuring Rene Benton on guitar and vocals; founder Bradlee Dean on drums; and Massey "Mass Dogg" Campos on vocals and bass. Dean, a survivor of multiple drug overdoses and jail incarcerations, broke into music in the 1980s. Since his conversion to evangelical Christianity, he has directed Junkyard Prophet's music toward aiding youths overcoming "trials and tribulations, persecutions, and afflictions...." Dean's wife, Stephanie Dean, a former commercial actress, joins the band for sexual abstinence-themed songs.
