CHAI MINISTRIES


Welcome To Our Website!

We are Daniël and Tracy Bootsma.


CHAI Ministries was birthed in 2020,

born out of our shared passion for music and desire to serve others. 

As a devoted husband and wife Christian musical duo, we are committed to our calling, 

as unto the Lord.


Through the transformative power of worship music, we strive to uplift spirits,

bring joy and nurture hearts of all who engage with our ministry, for God's glory.


The word "CHAI", in Hebrew, means Life, 

and it perfectly reflects our unwavering dedication to helping others discover the abundant life

that flows from a deep and personal relationship with Jesus.


We are committed to guiding others on this journey toward finding peace, purpose, and fulfillment.


Thank you for taking the time to join us on this blessed and meaningful journey! 


We are excited to share our music and the message of hope that resonates within it.


Blessings & Shalom,

Daniël & Tracy

ABOUT US


Chai Ministries Vision:

At CHAI Ministries, our vision is clear: we aim to profoundly impact countless lives for the glory of God by utilizing the unique gifts and talents that He has bestowed upon us.


Our mission is to bring message of Jesus Christ, the embodiment of Life, to those who are broken and feeling hopeless, offering them hope and healing through our music and ministry.

Tracy, originally hailing from Cape Town, South Africa, began her journey in music at the tender age of five. She embraced her Christian faith early in life and has consistently pursued her passion for singing and composing Christian music ever since.


Tracy recorded her first EP album titled "I Will Surrender" in 2009, which marked the beginning of her music ministry.

By 2011, she had completed her full album, "Destiny and the Cross."


That pivotal year also saw Tracy take a courageous leap of faith; she left her long-standing position in the insurance industry, where she had worked for 12 years, to fully embrace her calling in Christian music.


Subsequently, she joined a Christian ministry in Cape Town, furthering her impact. By the grace of God, Tracy was blessed with numerous opportunities to minister through music, both locally and internationally, with a significant focus on Europe.

The paths of Tracy and Daniël crossed in October 2015 at a Christian meeting in the Netherlands, igniting a connection founded on faith and shared musical aspirations.

They were married in December 2016 in Cape Town, and Tracy took the next step in her life by immigrating to the Netherlands to be with Daniël.


As a talented guitarist with a musical background, Daniël began collaborating with Tracy in 2017, taking part in worship events across Belgium, Switzerland, South Africa, and even performing at the Feast of Tabernacles in Israel in 2019. They have a heart for Israel and committed to God's word Psalm 122v6 ''Pray for the peace of Jerusalem, those who love her will prosper''.

Since 2020, the couple started recording their own original songs together in their personal music studio located in the Netherlands.

After spending seven impactful years in the abroad, Tracy and Daniël returned to South Africa in 2023 with a renewed purpose to reach out and serve the community, particularly in poorer areas, through their God given worship ministry. 


Alongside managing a small business two days a week, they dedicate their time to worship outreach programs in townships and organizations focused on helping the homeless and individuals struggling with addiction.

They have witnessed firsthand how worship, expressed through music, can bring about transformation and hope to many men, women, and children in the broken communities of Cape Town.


Their new song ''Faithful'' was released in March 2025 and available on all social media platforms.
